Better get ourselves back on the subject of the Thread methinks!
Rob.

This is very true Eric. Mrs Bligh has a sister living on the island and we thought that we could also pull in a visit to Old guy and Donna at the same time, so roll on next year.
Rob.

We were supposed to be visiting Holland this year after many years absence, but Covid put the lid on that and the visit to Vancouver Island which we also had on our bucket list.
Rob.

That could certainly be a way forward Eric.
What part of Holland are your relatives in? My second cousin and his family lived in Den Haag.
Rob.

And thank you for the Rep my dear Comte.
Rob.

Yes that developes my Chess Board idea and makes it even more easy to use if it is scaled to the ships base size so closely.
I like your idea. I hope Sven does too.
Rob.

Here is a little diversion for you Sven.

Rob.

Adding a range stick to the bottom of the picture would help that Sven.

I would think that you would all need to have measurements from the two corners of your ship base to the enemy mainmast. That would triagulate both ships. With more involved games using multiple...

I thought we would all have a mat set up, and post our moves to the GM. He would then set up the mat as it was in the new situation with any actions we had made and post that on this site. We would...

It is the real minis I like too Sven.
Rob.

Nothing so sophisticated as that John I'm afraid.
Just a photo of my table with the square numbers and grid photoshopped on. You will see what it is for when I get my game written up this week.
Rob.

Ah, yes I see. The few aerial shots of the games mat I have tried have never been of a great success even when standing on the table.

Rob.

Your posted pictures seem to be good to me Sven?

Rob.

I just added this grid for dice to place ships, bot it could easily be extended to 64 grids lettered like a chess board is or Battleships board.
Rob.

Good point Dave. My mat has no grid and is slightly bigger than two Ares mats in order to maximise the space on my playing surface.
Rob.

Sorry Sven I did not think about that, because my mats are now permanent fixtures.
Rob.

Could well be something worth investigating my dear Comte.
Any takers?
Rob.
