    Looking good Rob, the black and white colour scheme is pretty smart.

    Actually John, although the screen shot does not show it the ships are not all in black and white. Several are in black and light buff and the Sloops are either that or as produced by Ares. Captains used their own colour schemes until 1814, and the universal B&W for all American ships did not finally emerge until well into the 20s. I therefore decided not to follow Ares with the Constitution colour scheme. I am still debating if I should change the stripe on the President to light buff.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    This evening I have done a bit of amputation work prior to replacing the driver.

    From your picture I wasn't sure about them all being black and white but I think there is some mileage in them being uniform in colour, it sort of identifies them as being our Americain enemies. and makes a homogeneous fleet.
