Thanks, Dave.



Glad to be of service. Thanks for the rep.

By the way, you can tell Suzanne I found a way to counter the Dobbs-AI, I get the Dobbs-AI to play both sides of the fight. ...

I hope this is readable. There's a bit of glare from the overhead light though. Let me know if there's something you can't make out. I've done photos of both options for each of the ex-merchant...

All good news, sir. Somehow, through some arcane arts, someone captured that magical moment....

Be sure to request “permission to board” from the Officer of the Deck.:wink:

At the very least the "Hacked by..." webpage, which is now the Aerodrome home page should be replaced with something...anything at all.

Yeah, it's so strange that the Anchorage is clipping along at a good rate while the Drome is possibly deep sixed.

Apparently a hacker (or hackers) that go by the name DikXploit. I found nothing on them, which might indicate a relative nobody trying to make their name in hackerdom, but what do I know?

Not a good sign. Thanks for the info, DB. I had noticed that the 404 message was new and assumed the website was taken off-line - and not wiped out. I hope, given that the Drome was attacked in...

I still have all my original AAR on my home computer. I’m thinking it will be easy enough to repost.

Just $31 shy of the goal when I last checked.

It is a lot of fun.

Units are from 4 to 15 models. At the beginning of each turn a player draws a hand of playing cards. The turn consists of rounds where each player chooses a card from their...

Played the last game of Blood & Pigment’s 2024 Summer of Plunder. The campaign uses Firelock Games Blood & Plunder pirate skirmish rules.

Close quarters action before boarding.

While not "worth a book" - unlike those of a certain swaggering vagabonde - all of the original material (text and photos) for my AAR are still on my home computer. Although uploading the photos...

Knowing the discussion about this on the Aerodrome, it's no surprise. One has to keep in mind that there's not just the cost and effort of setting up a new site but also the ongoing costs of...

Perhaps one of the reasons it took me so long to play the game; and, in the end, I let the AI charts dictate manoeuvres.

They're river craft - converted paddle wheelers or specifically constructed for combat on the Mississippi and its tributaries. The Hartford, a frigate, is fairly large, but I don't have it painted...

No, I have not, but I do know about sculling the tiller - at times useful but at others a waste of time and effort and even a no-no. "Er, not sculling, sir. Just looking for a breeze, sir."

That was a hard fought battle. The frigate, United States, may have "fought off a ship of the line", but she surely looks like she was in a scrap. All grist for the Boston rags, I suppose.:beer:

"Trundling"??? That's not a sailing term with which I am familiar, Dobbs.

I am nothing if not indolent! So, no worries about catching up.

I can take no credit for the victory. It was Rob's scenario using Rob's tactics. :shock: :hmmm: No connection between those two...

I’m green with envy!

Good to see some more sailing action on the forum. Well done you two.

Not sure. That was 20 years ago. Anyway it all got sorted - at least with respect to google maps, etc., but I still check when giving someone my address to make sure they spell it right.

I likely would have missed the Dutchess vs Duchess spelling if it hadn't been an issue around our street being called "Duchess". When we first moved in, it was a new street that had been entered...

Oooh! Suzanne has a clever mind there. That would have been a good strategy for the French ships in this scenario. It would be interesting to play the French side in this scenario (or both sides...

That is true - English used to have more varied spelling. Now we just have UK (proper?? :wink:) and US spelling. I will say that "Dutchess" gives it an nice period feel. I was just curious if...
