Great game, except for the end result.

I agree Dave. It was a very interesting game and a surprising but credible result. I think the most challenging aspect of these games is the combination of wind direction, ship speeds, armament types and the disorientation created by ships moving and changing facing constantly. It makes every plan tenuous to say the least. Add to that, arc of fire and reloading rules as now written and we get results like this. You did everything right but then…. ce la guerre.

Great AAR. Those ships are amazing and Dave, better luck next time.

Big Red, he got two more chances as he picked up command in two other games this round. Those reports will follow..then we can judge his overall performance.. eh Dave? :)

Irrespective of any results all three games were really enjoyable and challenging depending on your crew quality and wind direction plus everything just looked stunning.
