@Archduke Picc...Thanks everyone for your comments.<br /><br />@Archduke Piccolo: In this scenario, the ships left behind by the Spanish could be considered prizes. Remember that only half the ships were used.<br /><br />@Peter: I agree with you. Here are two options when a collision happens. A. D6 damage to hull and D6 damage to masts (D3 in case of frigates). B. Roll one critical hit to hull and one critical hit to masts.<br /><br />@BVidler: The ships are all from GHQ. Here iis a blog on how they were built: http://wpggamegeeks.blogspot.ca/2010/05/my-tiny-victory.htmlSylvainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968328872238040281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-11710485738416508252012-07-23T11:34:32.423-05:002012-07-23T11:34:32.423-05:00Nice report.

Same issue - tracking large fleets is a pain unless you split the squadron between multiple players. FASB recommends 3 ships per player as a result with an Admiral commanding each squadron.<br /><br />May I ask what models you're using? They look GREAT!BVidlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974578482438647233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-67198067996526444462012-07-22T09:58:15.080-05:002012-07-22T09:58:15.080-05:00Sylvain

As David Manley points out, hull damage from a collision was exceeding rare unless it was a case of a loner running down a small craft. What was far more likely was rigging damage.<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />PDPeter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-71914410801727381622012-07-22T09:45:44.822-05:002012-07-22T09:45:44.822-05:00Thanks for the great game (and the beer)!

You have to admit, though, that the lack of prizes taken would not have gone down well with the British public. Indeed, one can imagine such a result sufficient to bring down the government... <br /><br />Given the lack of space, the set-up looked impressive.Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-55125178168345770732012-07-21T09:50:53.123-05:002012-07-21T09:50:53.123-05:00Sylvain

I think you are right: some sort of mechanism will need to be developed to streamline squadron movement/firing, especially if you are wanting to do the larger engagements of the period. Nonetheless, I've always enjoyed playing the rules!Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.com
