Is my old brain wandering, or do I really recall someone, sometime, having produced a Wooden Ships variant that covered the Spanish Armada period? Or do I need to be shown the way to the care home? |

There was an Armada supplement for Ship o' the Line, the miniatures game by S. Craig Taylor which went on to be developed by Battleline and AH into WS&IM. Don't think it was ever done for the revised game. Hope this helps and puts off the care home for a while. Where would you store all your games anyway ? Mark Barker

Cheers Mark! Your reply does stave off the inevitable ( for a while) -I'd forgotten the Ship o' the Line link. To answer you question: If I can persuade Matron to take on the roll of Queen Bess, there'll be space enough. |

@ Mark: Do the Inshore Squadron still have an active web site? |
| Mark Barker | 21 Jun 2015 3:40 p.m. PST |
We still have a website up but I would not describe it as active :-) Basically we do demos for Museums and Societies on request (last one was for the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich for last year's Trafalgar Day) and 1 or 2 game shows a year. Will be doing a game for the Sunday of the Naval Wargames Weekend at Explosion in mid-July. We would be there all weekend but the venue changed the date to one where I had a prior family engagement. … and having two young sons kind of limits the time I can spend writing the website as I can't get near the bloody computer until after they have gone to bed ! Best wishes, Mark Barker

Cheers, Mark. Many thanks for the link; I haven't seen the page in awhile. |
