Not sure if the folks here have seen this, but I just discovered it myself. It's one big listing of modern pirate naval attacks. Just briefly reading through it gives one plenty of ideas for scenarios at the larger scales. Enjoy. link Joey |

that is one impressive list of attacks, I have also read that most shipping companies dont report the attacks outside their own offices. |

Spanish fishing vessels now sail in the waters off Somalia with armed guards licensed by the Spanish govt…….. |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
