Didn't get a chance to play but bought some nice islands, so too did Rob and Chris.
I'm sure Rob or Chris will post pics as the game incorporated some of these new islands.

Played a game on sunday with Chris, Kite and two others (apologies not sure of their names). Had a good time and all were very friendly. Bought a starter set as well, so all ready to set sail.
Thanks to all

Welcome to the Anchorage, Steve. You will find everyone is very friendly here. If you have any questions, just ask. I too am from Norfolk. I live near Norwich.

I live near Norwich too. Do you play at a club? Maybe we could have a game?

Welcome alongside again Steve.
Glad you enjoyed our little fracas on Sunday.

The islands are being prepped for use even as we speak Neil, as are the sand bars. Will post as soon as they are completed.

Damn, missed out on those sandbars. Some dodgy grog seller took me last doobloon before I could hoist me mainsail and acquire some of those beauties.
Here is the completed Island paradise Neil.
17099
The American Frigate Constitution approaches the atoll.
17100
She negotiates the entrance to the reef.
17101
Moves into the bay.
17102
Drops anchor and dispatches a landing party to claim the Island.
Bligh.
This is the geology of the formation of a Tropical Paradise.
17103
Obtain a vac formed volcanic plug.
Mark it out on a sheet of Plasticard.
Mark an outer line for the jungle and beach.
Cut out the outline.
17104
Using a glue gun affix the Island to the card.
17105
PVA the beach area.
Then scatter green flock onto the wet glue.
Add the sand for the beach.
17106
Use tree bark, lichen, and moss to add details such as landslides, jungle and bushes.
17107
Wait for several thousand years for an American Frigate to discover it, and name it Tracy Island.
Well I wasn't going to say Pitcairn now was I.
Bligh.

Nice island, Rob.
I thought the US boys named it "The Rock" after the dangerous journey through the bay of San Francisco... :cheezy:

The sand bars make it all the more exciting Rob. Now you have shown me how to do it I must get on and do my four islands, planning a little harbour to go with it too. Going to try and model it on Charlestown in Cornwall.

That is a really good island, Rob, and the sandbars look good too. Did your ship manage to leave successfully?
Not yet Dave.
They have found the islanders most hospitable.

I look forward to seeing that Neil. Sounds an exciting development.

This is strange. Yesterday, I could see the images of Rob's island. Today, they are not visible. All I can see are reference messages.

Nicely done, Rob. Now you just need Julian's forts and you'll have many options for game scenarios! :happy:

Very strange indeed Dave!
Could it have vanished without tracy?:takecover:

The pictures are now visible again. I wonder what is going on.
Interesting! I saw the pictures last night through "What's New", but couldn't see them from "Home". Now I can't see them at all! They were good pictures. I have to make me an island!
That is really odd, because I have been able to see them all the time.

Still there to me Rob. Must be a hurricane on the pond that's making seeing them with the old glass rather harder of late!
Dash me sir.
It's usually the old glass that makes my seeing rather harder of late. Must be something in the Lemons.
Bligh.:drinks:

Tracey Island still visible to me Rob, in all it's splendour and glory.

The pictures have gone again. I am back viewing references.

I cant see any of the posted picks Rob.
Glad the game on the Sunday was enjoyed, I am trying to get a few more games in at shows, hopefully it will drum up some more support.
Unfortunately I cant post any picks as silly me left the camera behind, will take some soon of a game at the local club Im now attending
I don't know what is up with the pics.
I posted exactly the same as I always do.
As I have no admin rights here I can't check what is happening.
It will have to be Eric or the Oberst after he gets back to the States today.

These a from the Kalistra Mountain range, now to add the beach area and then Paradise Island for the Ratings :)
Looking very good Chris.
I am still grateful for the one that you let me have. It has already figured in two AARs.
