At last a few photos from Sven's Prague game "The fog bank."
Attachment 43617
The fleets starting position in the fog.
All make the first few moves by choice of cards not placed until the fog thins out.
Attachment 43618
Ships then reveal their true positions as the fog disperses into the small remaining drifts which you see.
Attachment 43619
Sven in total control. You can tell by the hat!
Attachment 43620
The British wonder where their coordinated line went in the fog?
Attachment 43621
I can't see it either.
Attachment 43622
A very close call.
Attachment 43623
Unite escapes too much damage.
Attachment 43624
The battle hots up a bit.
Attachment 43625
Ships slip in and out of the mist.
Attachment 43626
Unite takes a hammering and strikes.
Attachment 43627
The Battle continues.
Attachment 43628
The French, Honza and Honza junior, Wanderer and Hulik sense victory.

And now! The sequel. "Near the coast."
Having fought the British ships to a standstill, and with the fog dispersed, the second game involves the escorted convoy of Merchantmen escaping to deliver their supplies to France.
Attachment 43654
The scenario opens with the British ships holding the passage between the rocks protecting the French Harbour.
As Admiral I suggested just anchoring and holding the gaps on spring Anchor.
Attachment 43655
The French and Americans deliberated on how to thwart our endeavors.
Attachment 43656
Totally ignoring my superb, but totally boring plan, my Captains set forth to challenge the Allies on the high seas, thus half opening the gate to disaster.
Attachment 43657
Meanwhile the canny French hold back until our plan is revealed to them.
Attachment 43658
Then they make their move in line abreast, closing the British squadron.
Attachment 43659
Altering course at the last minute the appeared to be focusing their fire power on the British center.

Attachment 43660
Covered by his consorts one Merchantman slipped into the gap left by the British concentrating on the defending French ships.
Meanwhile I went head to head with the merchant trying to slip past on the flank of the action.
Attachment 43661
After my failed attempt to grapple and board,
with his greater burden he brushed me aside, forcing me to come about.
Attachment 43662
It was now a stern chase as both Merchantmen headed for the safety of the rocky passage.
Attachment 43663
And made their escape showing a clean pair of heels to the out maneuvered Brits.
Attachment 43664
And that is how I became a Yellowed Admiral.

Went off on a cruise and never got into action.
Bligh.

Thank you for the A.A.R.'s. Rob. Perhaps some court-martials for disobeying orders are called for?

Maybe you are correct Dave. Just glad that you the good Comte and Jonas enjoyed them.
Rob.
