Looks good. On the evidence of Samuel Pepys, the English at the time called it Tanger. It took me a while to work out what he was talking about!

You made Barbary ships, they had to get used for something. Nice scenario. That port is the right color to be Italian, too.

I think I could take it to Italy! The Berber ships are having a good old time out. Played a larger game with them yesterday. Smith's revenge?

You are probably a lot closer to playing Livorno 1653 than The Four Days Battle. :-)

Geographically or ship numbers? :) I agree on the former and the latter but ship numbers are on the increase… Maybe at some point the Four Days Battle… plan BIG!
