The 1st Battle of Algeciras.
In all the sources I could find for this battle, they say the French ships warped toward the shoals to ground them to avoid capture when the British attacked.
I understand what warping is, but my question is, from a wargaming perspective, how do you replicate this? What attitudes do the French ships take as they are warped, without dolhins, so that they can maintain their best positions to engage the British? Times to execute the various stages of such manoeuvres would also be helpful.
I am planning a scenario where "AI" (is that the right term?) moves the French ships, as realistically as possible to what happened, so the small number of players can focus on the British ships.
Many thanks in anticipation. |
