An Affair in Morocco (Part Three)

[Bligh]

Great to see this instalment of your Moroccan campaign finally posted. Although it started a bit murky...

Yes, did you like the fog? I was trying out my chance encounter rule for fog or night action to see how it went. I did not know where or when the enemy ship would appear nor its heading until it showed up. There were actually two more dice rolls which took place in the middle of the ones shown which I left out so as not to bore you too much. There is a sequel to this one in the pipeline.
Thanks for the Rep.

Yes, I did like the fog - very atmospheric.

I thought he needed to clean his camera lens

Excellent lesson in tactics, that'll learn em, they'll not mess with the US Navy again. Great action, shame not to see the shoreline and your wonderfull terrain but I guess you have to go to sea sometime.

How do you think you fog rules played out, were you happy with the result, and are they in the files section so we can rummage, and pillage them?

I thought Rob was hiding some unfinished kit in the fog...which cleared as he completed it. Clever.

I am unmasked.
You have uncovered my dark secret Paul.
If you had said this about the sequel yet to come, you would have been closer than yo think! John Adams boats were a last minute addition.

Thanks for your comments and the Rep John.
I will explain the rules after we get back from shopping. They worked for me O.K. I will leave it to others to judge for themselves. I have never put anything in the files because I can't get access to them.

The fog/ night/ or even sanstorm works like this John.



Use the gridded chart to determine where your ship moves from. Then choose your cards as usual, and move accordingly on the table to match the imaginary grid. at the end of the move throw 2 D 6 dice to indicate a sqoare on the table. If the square is adjacent to the one your ship currently occupies then the enemy ship is sighted through the fog. If not make your next move and then check again. Do this until a square adjacent to your ship comes up and place the enemy ship in the middle of this square. Pull a wind direction chip and this will determine the heading of the enemy ship. If playing with the wind rules a sighting will also trigger an increase in wind from light to medium and disperse the fog. from this point you also start checking for directional changes in the wind as per normal. Both ships then follow the normal rules for play. If you want to check your lookouts ability to see the enemy you can also deploy cards for this as the fog lifts.



For some scenarios you may also wish to use this card as an option

You may have also noticed a chit like this on below only in white played in the boarding action. It was the prototype for this one which is to replace the Let the men drink card. It is to replace that card in Muslim ships and grants the same advantage but represents Religious fervour as instilled by the Imam.
