    When one of the captains on the roster dies, that captain will be replaced. Like Brad, it might be useful to have a few 1st Lieutenants in reserve.

    When I made my initial roster for a WoG campaign, I translated English terms into German. I doubt any non-German-speaking individual would notice. In Pathfinder, I name all my characters with some variation of mangiare (to eat) given that EAT are my initials and calling in life. One of my characters is named Pranzare, which translates to eat lunch, because when in combat, he ate other's lunch.

    Brad and Jonas, your rosters have been added to the Spreadsheet. We're glad you have joined the game. Please ensure I have email addresses so I can invite you to the googlesheet, and please let me know what captain abilities you want to assign to which two captains - everyone starts with two captains having one ability apiece.

    I used the rank structure that was in place; if either of you desire changes, please let me know and I will be happy to accommodate. Our intentions regarding rank were to help with eventual promotions and to ensure scenario writers could count on a consistent set of ranks if desired for a given mission. In the end, it is about the players enjoying themselves, so if anyone desires a specific set of ranks, it is no problem.

    I will finish populating the AI captain rosters and updating all completed AARs this weekend.

    The Google Sheets is available to me.

    I will have to think about the abilities.
    It gives me a little bit a feeling of cheating, but I'll think it over.

    Aha... I saw now that the good Commodore Croft had been mistakenly labeled as Commander.

    He is correct in the google sheet, at least.

    Not that I want to create work for you Eric but I did send a list of custom AI Names (rather than ranks) a 2 or so weeks ago, as I played the Jan & Feb scenarios before you had generated my AI Squadron - any chance of using them - or at least inserting the 2 captains names I've already used in my AARs to replace 2 of the names you've generated...?

    On a related note - just a general musing - how would an AI captain use the InC ability (or will AI Captains simply not get this)...?

    I have a couple of questions...

    I have downloaded the two page PDF which to handle AI ship movement. Is that the correct and only file?

    I can't seem to download the rosters file. Is it only available to registered players?

    Are these files all I need to run some solo games using the 2015 Solo campaign systems or are other files needed?

    Neil.
    Can you add to my adversaries list two Spanish Captains, and two Frigate captains.
    Trouble has broken out with the Spanish in the Caribbean.
    Thanks. Rob.
