No, just a really long list of battles I would really like to game some day. The entire AWI would be a good start…. |

I tend to play frigate/small ship skirmishes, but Trafalgar was a classic due to the asymmetric nature of the forces meaning either side had a chance of victory depending how those forces are managed, and of course it wasn't just a line of battle slugging match.
Battle of the Nile was good for the fireworks! |

I favor the Anglo Dutch wars. With Firelock Games coming out with ‘Oak and Iron' I am looking forward to trying this era with these period specific rules. Unlike the battles above, these conflicts are more evenly balanced for gaming. |

Any from the AngloDutch Wars |

Battle of Chesapeake Capes |

Seconding Lissa. An interesting match up with the last generation of ships and weapons in the AoS At the other end of the timeline, the balance between boarding and shooting at Ponta Delgada. |

Well, being from upstate New York, and my dad actually being born in Plattsburgh-- I'd say one of my favorites is the naval aspect of the Battle of Plattsburgh (Lake Champlain) in 1814. But, American battles aside, I'm a sucker for frigate action, and love the underappreciated and dramatic Mauritius Campaign of 1809-1811, where it actually seemed France had a fighting chance with the Royal Navy. Frigate battles and amphibious assaults; can't get much more interesting than that!
