The article describing the matter:...

I think since Broke's training emphasised accuracy which increased the chances of hits, perhaps return zeroes and redraw, although this is a big advantage. It's essentially the 'Good Aim' card but as...

I thought the Anchorage might appreciate this discussion over on FB. It discusses traversing of guns to achieve oblique fire and the gunnery innovations of HMS Shannon, as well as some anecdotes from...

I deleted my earlier post so as not to interfere with the flow of the battle, but repeat here that this is a terrific engagement and a great photographic story. Thanks for posting, a real treat. ...

Beautiful. the russet coloured sails look great.

Nice clean cuts, thanks for the clear photos. What diameter and type of materials are you using for your masts, if I may ask.

Just amazing work, congratulations and thanks for sharing.
How did you create the blocks on the running lines?
Thanks

We are watching the fires up here in British Columbia and sending best wishes to our neighbours to the south.

Hi everyone, thanks for the great info and input.
Sven, yes I had thought there was something missing about the movement and base size until I realised the problem. Measurement of movement from the...

Thanks so much, very kind!

Thanks Rob. I'll look into the perspex bases over here. Would you be able to share the name of the model suppliers? I have family in the UK for distance procurement :happy:

First importance, hope you make a Speedy recovery Rob, COVID is a kicker.

I'd like to ask advice from the Forum please. I'm considering alternate and much narrower bases for my fleets, mostly...

That's great to see, thanks so much for posting.

Great AAR, thank you for posting. These make a great coffee break read and I really appreciate the multiple photos showing the progress. The fort scenario is pretty nice setup and model. What size...

Thank you! I'll tell the missus and treat myself to an extra ration of grog

Great story. It wasn't clear, the breeze allowed them to position astern and rake them for 20 minutes... they must have stayed in position with the oars? Never heard of anyone rowing into position...

I signed myself up for a weeks voyage on the STS Leeuwin from Albany to Esperance in WA, years ago when I had knees. I made it to the upper foresail top. It was more sea sick when I got back to solid...

Dec 2020, quite a while ago, but if the offer is still open I'd be interested in taking the Leander. I'm in BC also, not far.

Thank you Rob, I had meant to reply to your kind note.
As in the other thread, I recently acquired about half the deck from the Victory and Constitution. I may have a line on a deck that comes with...

Hello Rob, very kind of you to keep me in mind. I did succumb and bought my own Constitution and Victory. I figured I could get half of the cards and draft up the rest. Very good of you to consider. ...

That's a really beautiful building. The detail is incredible. Very well done!
