Another cracking game Barry and I like the junks.
Did you ever do a write up of our 3rd game? |
| jocknroll | 02 Apr 2020 4:30 a.m. PST |
I did do the write up Dave. It is scheduled for the blog over the next week or so. I also completed the fifth game in the series which was the capture of the Dutch Herring fleet of Harwich by an English squadron…. or, not as the case may be. |

jurgenation – thanks
I have searched for this book and author and came up with nothing. Can you point me in the right direction please? |

The book you seek is entitled Lost Colony: The Untold Story of China's First Great Victory over the West by Tonio Andrade, Princeton University Press, 2011. Great book on a subject I knew nothing about. I look forward to seeing what you could do with it on the tabletop. Your recent naval posts have been a real inspiration and have resulted in the resurrection of my long dormant 1/600 american civil war on the water project. Thank you. OBW |

Thanks OBW for both the kind words and the book details. I have ordered it. I hope to be able to produce some scenarios from its contents! |
