Another new post on my blog. This time it's an ACW naval game we played last night. I will be running a game at Fall-in on Friday at 12pm entitled 'Me Jolly Jolly Grog', with a Union fleet of around 16 ships attacking a Confederate harbor. My friend will also be running a game Saturday at 12pm, under the same title.

Prosit!

Nice report. Nice looking ships too.

Why Oh why, did the Hartford try and cross the bar?

Great looking game and I especially liked the paint job on the Hartford – it's a beautiful model.

Are your house rules in any intelligible form? grin I have been searching for my idea of ideal ironclad rules for years and I haven't really found satisfaction.

Good report, and some lovely models there :)

Tim, I'd like to suggest the following, which is a variant on "Victory at Sea" that I've been working on. It might fit your needs (but then again it might not)

Thanks David, but which set of rules? I couldn't find anything with your name or any ref to Victory at Sea.

Tim,
If you shoot me an email, I can send you the charts we are using.

Thanks David – they look interesting, I may give them a go sometime in the next few months.

Victory at Sea – these are published rules? Who wrote them, produces them and where can I get them (I'm in Kanada)?

Gert, thank you for the offer, email sent! grin
