Very important document if you want to understand the Basque Roads action of 1809 ! Armand – it is not Captain Hornblower, but it most definitely is Captain Aubrey ! Here is a picture of the action as we set it up for our demonstration for the 200th anniversary. The conference proceedings will hopefully be published at some point because we wrote a chapter on the battle itself. The sequence of the tides is key – we did an animation of the flow of the battle and pictures from the site itself. Best wishes, Mark Barker

Mark, it seems that Cochrane gave birth to both! (smile). Very interseting game.
Are there any link to visit and see all the action?. Thanks for your guidance. Amicalement

Armand, Hopefully there will be a CD-Rom accompanying the conference proceedings that will include all our pictures and animations. If this never happens we will put something out ourselves as we did with Trafalgar. We did not game it out but researched the rise and fall of the tides etc and then tallied that with the original British (and French) records of the time. We even reviewed the French court-martial records for the captains that lost their ships and if you think the British decision is mildly fishy to protect the establishment then we had a lot to learn – at least we did not shoot anyone this time ! Best regards, Mark |
