    Default Meanwhile on the Far Side of the World...

    During the Quasi-War with France, the 32 gun frigate USS Brandywine had an unusual encounter. For years afterward, those not involved thought it was just a sailor's yarn...

    Note: No inch (25.4 mm) worms were harmed in the making of this feature, and the candidate was returned to the wild (aka the neighbor's bush).

    Clearly Brandywine had the higher burden and should have moved first before the collision. Did you prepare the boarding party? I rate that worm as having sweeps, able to ignore the wind and move about at will.

    You have introduced the first 'live action' sea serpent to the game, Dobbs. :)

    LOL

    I do worry for the health of the neighbor's bush though! Those "weevils" tend to rove about in packs!

    Expect more trouble from these brutes Dobbs.
    If you ask me that is just the thin end of the hedge.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
