The team that brought you the “Glorious First of June” is back with another mega scenario. On Memorial Day weekend (Saturday, May 28th) we will be playing the scenario “Trafalgar, 1805” from 8:00...
How I wish for just a bit of that L space! My office/game storage/library wouldn't look like something out of hoarders!
Diamondback, You are right about ThreeDecks - very good, incompletes in some areas, etc.
But Erin's thread may be a good starting place for us to post good references we all could use. Best...
Another very good site (my favorite) is:

As with the one mentioned above, you will need to click on the ship name to get ship...
Great job, Jonas!
I've picked up a couple of the Ship-Sloops to make into brigs but had a couple of concerns and haven't done so yet.
The first was where do the masts go? Now resolved since...
I’d have to agree with Fred on this. Having done the “Battle of the Nile” and most recently “the Glorious First of June”, I’ve been sold on doing fleet actions for quite a while. It didn’t take...
Fred is right. The ships sat on 7 mats. I planned on table space for 8 to allow for a mat to move on to and worked out the conveyor belt tarp system. (Tarps were cut in half, then edged with tape...
Well Jim, this time I didn't even need a dare. I've already got a bid in to run "Trafalgar - 1805" at next year's Enfilade! So, yes, I will be chomping at the bit for the Spanish big guns!
And...
Well besides being the “largest historical battle and most ships” game played to date using the Sails of Glory rule set, we probably set a record as most photographed game at Enfilade! It drew an...
To the last paragraph, thanks for the reminder about our "Glorious First of June" battle this coming Sunday. Still looking for a few of "those brave captains!"
And as I said before - "It's going...
Just a quick update. The group got together tonight and did our final prep-work (inventoried all the equipment, maneuver cards, etc.) and we’re ready to go.
The only thing missing are the...
With your comments on size, I'm surprised you didn't mention the USS Pennsylvania (1837). (A little outside of the time frame, but still a wooden sailing ship.)
The Sails of Glory Historical Gaming Scenario, “The Glorious First of June” is set for play at Enfilade! 2015. Online Registration is now open at http://www.nhmgs.org/enfilade!.html. But don't...
Looks like I got a few folks attention with the "official" announcement. So, first, to answer a few questions.
Diamondback - Yes I did get the stats and thank you. As huge as this thing is, I...
We are about to embark on the greatest Sails of Glory game session yet! Come join us in making history by participating in “The Largest Historical and Most Ships in One Game Record-breaking Event!”...
I really like the format of your scenario set-up and rules. Gave a brief history to set the stage, plus all the data needed to play it. Great job!
All I can say is “Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous!”
QUOTE=Nightmoss;37509]Well, David that's a fantastic bit of news! I should spout off some other grandiose ideas and see if you take the bait? Seriously, if there's anything I can do to help (in my...
I'm fine with that. As long as my chums (chums? bad choice of words?) and I are the sharks!
Here Fishy, Fishy!
As I said to Fredmiracle when asking for assistance, “Nightmoss was trolling and I'm starting to play with the bait! Looking for other fish to help, (that's a BIG piece of...
For those interested, the house/scenario rules (one 8 1/2" X 11" size sheet - two sided) used for the Nile scenario are in the files section. One is located at:...
Let me mull it over. If I remember correctly, the "Glorious First of June" was the largest naval battle in the French Revolution/Napoleonic wars. It would be a challenge, but that could be fun to...
I believe it could be done but gathering enough ships would be a problem. My quick estimate has the Suggested Retail Price for both fleets would probably be a little over $2,000.00 U.S. Nothing...
if I remember correctly, they had as much as 1/3 of each ships crew ashore at any one time. The shore parties required a large contingent of escorts for protection.
