    Quick Pete assemble a cutting out party to disable Napoleon's Clacks along the coastline.

    Bligh.
    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.

    Owing to those fetish French cheese eaters cutting down the clacks, I’ve not been live for ages. Just got a new password sent, and here I be. (arrgg Jim lad). This weekend, after nearly 2 years, I finally opened up my sails of glory and played the first ever game with no 3 son. Tab learning curve, but hope to move on up the rules this weekend.
    Its not a train set but a micro engineered precision detailed transport system.

    If you ever get stuck like that again Pete, just send me a message as a visitor to the site with the new password you require and I will sort you out the new password and then let you know it is active.

    Well, welcome to you, Sir, from a fetish French cheese eater that would be honoured to share some of the best he has in stock with a good Southern coastal French wine for, I guess, these are two things you are lacking of in England.

    Thank you sir, but my wine cellar is overflowing with "Liberated" French wine, Brandy and cheese. I look forward to one day meeting you on the high seas, and the possibility that you might best my ship, and if so, you might then "Liberate" some barrels of John Smiths, Chedder cheese and good old Cornish pasties. Thank care sir, in these troubled times

    That would be my privilege, Monsieur.

    One small point Monsieur.
    You would be unlikly see that combination of flags in reality, because as you will know your version of the Tricolour was superseeded in 1794, whilst the Union in the canton of the Brithish flag did not have the St. Patrick's cross added until 1801.
    Bligh.
