After a lengthy hiatus, circumstances now allow me to continue my decades-long series of ATF games (that's real Alcohol, real Tobacco, and simulated Firearms). For this reintroduction, I chose a naval scenario from the 1800-1805 Barbary War.
Rules were "Away Boarders!".
Ships are 1:300 scale paper models. More pictures here: link Enjoy, Jeff |

I would have never guessed paper ship. Excellent. |

A welcome sight. Will AFT be doing more 10mm Napoleonic encounters? |
| War Artisan | 09 Oct 2022 11:16 p.m. PST |
Certainly. And possibly other things as well. |

OP, I am a long-time admirer of your work. |

Looks like everyone had fun. |

That is great news. I too have long admired your projects. Putting them out there is a gift to the hobby. It got me into 10mm and thinking about scenario design. |

Any thought on expanding the anglo dutch range? Or is that back burner? |
| War Artisan | 11 Oct 2022 12:35 p.m. PST |
Well, everything has been back burner for some time now. There is a 14-gun pinnace in the prototype stage. I've built it in 1:300 and 1:600 and I'm pretty happy with it so far. In the planning/research stage is an English galley-frigate and maybe a larger ship of the line, something in the 80-84 gun range. As usual, though, no specific timeline for completion or release. |

Beautiful ships. Barbary Pirates are something I've always wanted to do. Owned several different fleets in several different scales. Maybe one day. |
