I will have a word with you about how you are inserting the pics when I get time, as I am getting some odd results myself. Rob.

Ok, will do! Not as much fun modeling wise but much more practical.

Good ho, I'm looking forward to seeing how you fare. I've just posted a 2nd game and had a nightmare with the photos. Doing what I did a couple of...

Indeed it does John. I am just about to process the pictures for the first action and then post my Preamble to the scenario. Rob.

I generally prefer Battle sails just because that is what the game is all about, and most ships, by the time they got to the distance represented on...

I thought I could hear your cannon fire, but then it turned out to Mrs V learning to play the Bodhran. :takecover: So if you are doing a sequel,...

Wishing you the best of luck in your latest session. One or two good rolls of the dice might be all it needs?

Mike and I have been chatting about this and other projects in our regular Sunday international wargaming Zoom chats :)

A nifty bit of action John. I do hope that future captains of the Orient take good note of the damage fire can do to a ship when combustables are...
