Very interesting demonstrations Lankin. Thanks for posting these. Rob.

I already have a few of these Eric. Rob.

Looking forward to your visit, Eric!

Dobbs your PC/SOG mash up looks fascinating, great AAR. I love the detailed sail hits and of course the sailing dynamics. I have to find time to come...

Of course you'll now need to paint up some bomb vessels!

Hi Nelson, I worked with some of the Vallejo Textures, but only on smaller Bases, but I have collected some info I hope they are interessting...

I have not used it Jed, but I'm sure that some of the shipmates will have experience of it. Rob.

I have been looking at that photo of the actual fort and wondered how to get the correct colour in paint which it appears to be. Several photos that...

:happy: Last night I was ordering buildings for Ft McHenry and found it on their website. Suffice to say there is one en-route to me at this moment.

This afternoon I started researching for Castel san Angelo which is also known as Castello Argonese. It looks as if I am going to need a few houses...

It is from Brigade models Dobbs. https://www.brigademodels.co.uk/SmallScaleScenery/Mediterranean%20Buildings/SSS-8168.html Rob.

That's a pretty cool fort, Rob. Where does it come from?

This is where the fight ended. Saratoga was taking a bit of a pasting, but the mizzen hit was promising. Had the fight continued, I would have...

No I don't do that Dobbs. I just download the reduced picture from the file on my computer to the page here. Rob.This is how it comes out.

Do you physically take a picture of the screen?

I just reduce the pictures off my camera with Adobe photoshop and then post them using the insert image box but they all now come with an attatchment...

That is a very good innovation Dobbs. I think I will even add it to all my solo games using the Sails rules. Rob.

Just out of curiosity, how do you gents post files with pictures of what you're posting here? I can post PDF's, but it never shows what the file is....

Thanks for the compliments and Rep, Rob! As an additional note, I allow each class of ship a certain number of free leak hits (indicated off the...

Thanks Dobbs. That clears up a lot of the odds and ends for me. You certainly have an excellently realistic game mechanism. The Millers' Island...

Once again, Saratoga is in a superior tactical position. This time, her gun crews manage to even the score a bit.

At the start of the next turn, I roll to see how the crew does tacking the ship. They are entirely successful, and Saratoga continues across the...

After the exchange, Saratoga decides that to tack while the British reload. On the Plotting Log I indicate that I intend to tack (the equivalent of...

For ships with 12 pdrs as their primary armament I subtract -1 any numerical damage shown on the drawn chits to reflect the lesser punch than 18...

I've replaced one of the photos that was not visible on my end. The other one is still visible here and I feel like I shouldn't poke the bear......

Thanks for the demo of the action Dobbs. I'm starting to see what some of the scoring of points is doing to the integrity of the ship and crew....
