The title refers to some erratic sailing by my English enemies.....!!!

We had a fun game (are there any other type) - of Sails of Gory Napoleonic at our club!
3 74's against 3 74's run by Powder Monkey! (http://www.tynesidewargames.co.uk/downloads.html)

Nice report. I'm sure the admiral will have a word with the captains about the value of a battle strategy. Sailing off to inspect the cormerates on a near by island is hardly a sanctioned use of one of His Majesties warships!

Nah, with all the ships of the same class, and on Fighting Sail, the French managed to avoid any collision, except with the triple cursed English! - and that was to grapple!

Is that true Hugh?
Jack Aubrey and Maturin seemed to do it all the time.:wink:
Bligh.
