Shore-Coastal Scenarios

[7eat51]

The goal of this thread is to capture thinking on shore scenarios or engagements that incorporate forces or targets along coastlines, e.g. bombarding a coastal fortress, attacking a port, being fired upon by shore batteries. Topics could include historical or created engagements, rules, playing surface components, etc.

As folks share about historical scenarios, I will try to find corresponding links and put them in this original post so we can have information gathered in one place. I will group them thematically and chronologically.
