    I have just tried attaching the ratlines to my first ship. It takes a lot of patience, as these are super delicate, but they do look good when on.

    The new rulers look great. I'm impressed this has been identified and they are replacing all the old rulers. I tried to ink in some of my rulers and stain them, buggering them up a little. I've got...

    No worries, it's probably better to learn how to rig properly, then you can choose to ignore what you want to, rather than learning it wrong from someone who is already ignoring bits. Do post some...

    If it would be helpful, I could put together a quick how to video for rigging this. I was planning on rigging one french ship anyway. I certainly won't rig anymore than that though until I have a...

    Wow, that looks really great! Now I wish I had more than one of each ship, so I could make a pirate fleet as well.

    I haven't found that. The two games i have played, one with two frigates, the other with two frigates and two SOLs, lasted around an hour each. There was a point when my opponent crashed his SOL into...

    That would seem logical. Unless once the chit is drawn, it is then placed facedown on the shoal, so other ships don't know the depth until they pass over it too, but the depth is set.

    As Keith spotted I didn't paint them first. I simply painted the wash directly onto the sails. Quick and easy, and almost no skill needed, because if you acidently run onto any darker areas with the...

    I think Todd's idea of drawing B chits to determine shoal depth would work and keep that risk. Frigates will still run a risk of grounding, but not nearly as much of one. If being pursued by a SOL, i...

    Following Jim's lead with HMS Terpsichore, i decided to have a go at rigging and painting HMS Goliath. I decided to wash the sails in a light brown wash. I then paint the spars black. I'm considering...

    Before the revolution the French Navy used a plain white ensign. It's not a mistake, it's by design. I prefer the tricolore on the ships, but the flags are historically accurate.

    This is a great idea and makes shoals much more interesting. This will also give frigates an advantage enabling them to escape from SOLs or even lure them onto the shoals during a pursuit, then sit...

    I'd rather it was HBO, game of thrones is really good, so was band of brothers, the wire, etc. Not all the time but most of the time, when HBO do shows they do them really well.
