    That was absolutely brutal!

    You sailed the Spanish as though you wanted them to win! Very honorable!

    My man of the match has to be HMS Leander, a fourth rate that took on the Santa Anna and walked away, the stuff of legends. Surely a medal of some kind is in order for her captain?

    It was great seeing all of those new ships in action, funny how the Spanish ships don't look small when firing double shotted broadsides at you from point blank range.

    I see the great cat was there to ferry the dead to the underworld.

    That is one vote for a medal, does anyone else agree.

    Rules are rough approximations of what you think I might do!

    What for the cat?

    I counted him as a fog bank to allow the Santa Ana to escape, without having to spend time sailing it off table with only the Leander snapping at its heel's. By the time the liners had come about they would never have caught up even with its sail and steering damage.

    A medal for young Captain Tanner of the Leander would be most acceptable to him I'm sure. It would be his first Gazette after taking command of his new ship.

    Bligh.
