You can't keep an old Sea Dog down. :happy:

It's bad to hear you have the lurgy but good to hear you're feeling better. Spending money on hobbies is always something of an antidote to illness.

Sorry I'm a little late but there is some outstanding work on the April Workbenches.
The Bounty looks great, Paul your ships are wonderful and Rob your Dubrovnik is just superb. The printed ships...

Sorry Achim I've not been on the forum recently. Thanks for the Rep.
Cheers

What ho Horatio. No sorry - that's another time.

Sparkling Caribbean story Paul and a famous victory for Attenbridge. Unfortunately my tablet seems to be refusing to charge so I'm reading this on...

Disaster for the poor French Capitaine and through no fault of his own, just the fickle wind blowing in the wrong direction and at the wrong time.

Paul it's good to see you are still progressing...

They are very nice upgrades to the standard ship. Bon voyage Capitaine Chee.

Thanks Paul and Rob, I thought no one was going to read my story let alone enjoy it.
Cheers and thanks for the rep. A glass of the 98 would possibly be in order I believe.

I find it hard to believe that it was March 21 since my last campaign game of Sails of Glory, but having just checked, I have to believe it.

So with a small fanfare of trumpets here is another...

Hells Teeth, Rob - that was clever!

Joseph I signed on today specifically to tell you about this book, I got a copy for Christmas and finding it most interesting but I see you are already aware of it.
I'm only 4 chapters in and it...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

A happy New Year to you all, hopefully a good few games will be played in the coming year and lots of ships launched as well.

All the best. For 2022.

The led light looks remarkably effective. My expert on earings says she's never heard of led ones. I'll have to investigate further.

I did find a couple of cheap duplicate ships that I was going...

Vol, as Rob said, she is magnificent, the ship and the figurehead. :wink:

The sails and rigging are really superb. :thumbsup:

Juno's arrival worked well, I imagine Captain Smithers breathed a sigh of relief when he recognised the flag. :thumbsup:

I'd not noticed before but are you using a new backdrop? Also I meant to...

Another excellent tale of derring do, congratulations to Captain Smithers for a well deserved victory.

Was the last frigate to arrive a literary ploy or part of the scenario, and also was this a...

Well done to you all. :beer::beer::beer::beer:

Rob I was a little surprised at the size of the wine glasses on display in your senior moments photos, they seem very small but I could be mistaken...

Vol, sorry I missed the launching ceremony for Le Fougueux! It's a bit late but I'll drink to a proud and long lived service in the French Navy tomorrow.

She looks as lovely as the last one off...

Rob you managed to ambush yourself if this is a solo game that takes some doing. Well done.

A great scenario, took me completely by suprise when Aurora entered that anchorage and took a broadside...

I expect the Court Martial will sort out who was to blame for the tangle but it did look like fun.

Hi Rob, sorry to be hijacking your game post but if you look at this post on the wings site just rush past my game report and look at the comments where the discussion into posting pictures starts.
...

I was having a similar problem to you but on the Wings site, I would post all my pictures exactly as I had previously done and it would show them where I expected but also dump them all on the bottom...

Rob they all work for me now.

Thanks for rectifying it, does this mean you can post pictures normally now or are you still 1 post at a time?
Cheers

I can see HMS Caesar but no pictures after that.

Fighting at Sea in the Eighteenth Century: The Art of Sailing Warfare by Sam Willis might be worth a look, I got it from my local library. It's perhaps more of an overview and covers quite a lot of...
