Remember the old joke, Summer fell on a Thursday this year. Well so far we have had about a fortnight of hot weather. I don't understand it. Must be Global warming, we usually get Global incontinence.
Remember also that fact. Britain gets weather, whilst the rest of the world gets climate.:wink:
Bligh.

Welcome aboard, John. :salute:

Some folks here have printed off various cards for ships not offered. You can always make ship logs with numbers you think are historically accurate. We have a committee here on the Anchorage that works on such things, so if you desire numbers for specific ships, start a thread listing them.

When you have a chance, take a gander at our solo play stuff: http://sailsofglory.org/forumdisplay.php?41-2015-Solo-Campaign

Great joke.

We have experienced Global Cooling and Raining this summer. Maybe our nations switched weather patterns for the year.

Welcome John, from the rainy Sweden.

I was in Bath last year in September and the weather was almost too hot and no rain at all.

About the correct ships for a battle, it depends. If it's for a convention I print ships cards and compare broadside weights to choose which stats to use and print those too. I've even repainted hulls to resemble a few if there's a known historical paint scheme. Otherwise I mostly just compare number of guns and what models I have available.
