    Default Battle of Lissa 1811

    On 3 March 1811, a British Frigate Squadron fought 2 Frigate Squadron (1 French, 1 Venetian) for control of the Adriatic Sea island of Lissa or Vis. This would make a great SGN scenario. Although the English are outnumbered, the French start separated and therefore cannot coordinate their efforts.

    Captain William Hoste was able to sink the French flagship, captured two other ships, and scattered the remainder of the enemy forces.

    The convient issue is if you purchased two of each ship from the KS, then you will have 8 French and 8 British Frigates. Which makes this scenario logistically possible.

    British OOB:

    HMS Amphion 32 Guns 5th Rate
    HMS Active 38 Guns 5th Rate
    HMS Cerebus 32 Guns 5th Rate
    HMS Volage 22 Guns 6th Rate

    French OOB:

    Windward Division:
    Favourite 40 Guns 5th Rate
    Flore 40 Guns 5th Rate
    Bellona 32 Guns 5th Rate

    Leeward Division:
    Danae 40 Guns 5th Rate
    Corona 40 Guns 5th Rate
    Carolina 32 Guns 5th Rate
