Ahoy me hearties, Last instalment of our three game storyline. Firstly as stated previously I use compass dice rather than drawing chits for random wind direction these are from SnMstuff.

The damage counter bags are from Thecleverbaggers uk 69p each

After the last engagement HMS Vanguard SOL badly damaged limped away later she sought refuge in the lea of some islets trying to make herself seaworthy enough to cross the channel. Whilst HMS Spartiate SOL sits of shore on guard. Two French frigates Unite and Hermione undamaged from the last fight have been in pursuit but keeping distance. Now they come within distance and Spartiate moves to engage.

The French manoeuvre to try and get a safer raking shot off, this Hermione succeeds in doing to terrible effect 1st Fire, double ball, raking from the stern aiming high. Before Spartiate can adjust to this fire Unite also gets in a partial broadside.

Meanwhile Vanguard succeeds in her repairs (6 on a d6 got 1 damage box back). Sees a French frigate raises anchor and sails away. Later firing off a partial then heads out to open waters.
92119215
The French wolves can smell blood, circling ever closer they pound away at Spartiate then after marines exchange musketry HMS Spartiate surrenders to Unite.
9217
The French win the scenarios overall.
The astute will notice that we had to move an islet mid game as Captain Smith sailed straight into it. The tale of his sailing prowess to fill taverns for years to come.
