Hi,
Our local club refought Trafalgar in 1/1200 on trafalgar day last Sunday, using Langton and Skytrex miniatures and the ‘Blood Bilge and Iron Balls' rules. Links on Facebook I'm afraid:

Interesting read and it must have been great fun to play. So did any of the Spanish 1st rates see much action? |

Yes, they all saw some. Santísima Trinidad was avoided by the British I think and found it hard with her size to manoeuvre to get the wind, but the others all gave some damage out as well as getting some back! |

And yet the British captured her there. She also struck at St Vincent but the British didn't board her and so she was towed away. |

In history, yes. I was referring to our refight. 😁 |
