A few weeks ago we played our first SoG game one versus one.
My buddy choosed the Royal Navy with the Bellona Class SoL HMS Vanguard and the Amazon Class frigate HMS Terpsichore.
My flagship was the Temeraire class SoL Commerce de Bordeaux and the Concorde class Frigate Courageuse.
We played with standart rules.

My try to get the enemy SoL between my So Land the frigate failed and instead my frigate Courageuse had to pass between the two enemies.

Thanks to the better burden value, the Courageuse survived this meeting, but with a high crew damage.

My flagship turned around and tried to get in a better shooting position, while my damaged frigate tried to keep the distance for a while.
A lucky circumstance saved my SoL from a heavy British broadside. My buddy – as inexperienced as me – had loaded chain shots and was a little bit out of distance. :takecover:
He decided to fire the salvo in the air to get a standart ball salvo as soon as possible.

The Commerce followed HMS Vanguard and the enemy Amazon class collected damage from the returning Courageuse.

Maybe I had the luckier hand at this day…
My ships were in a good condition just before the end of the battle.

Very untypical for RN ships, HMS Terpsichore left the battlefield.
A short view into the rules confirmed, that this action counts as a surrender. :surrender:
HMS Vanguard recieived the final damage from the Courageuse and the battle was over.

The British ships after the battle.

It was a funny game and we learned our first lessons:
It’s a tough decision between the more powerful British Amazon Class frigates and the more durable French Concorde class.
Maybe a good Captain would choose the British frigate for the better first punch.
The Temeraire class has a good firepower. No wonder the British captured and used so many of them.
The British ships are faster, but I think you need more experience to get a bonus from this fact.
We changed sides for a second game, but I did'nt took pictures.
Due to a nice collision situation of three ships we weren't able to finish it... :help:
At all a nice first game and meanwhile I grew up my fleet with two additional SoLs and two additional frigates. :moneygone:
