Finally we had a game with two very young gentlemen playing the British and learning as they went in a game of get dad and sink him. Dad being the French Admiral in the far centre sporting the red shirt of revolution.

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 game lasted just two moves after first contact. Bracketed by both British ships. Two broadsides, and the French Admiral vanished beneath the waves before help could arrive. The second French ship decided the odds were now against him and beat a quick retreat. Another victory to the British.
