On 9th April 1731, Robert Jenkins, captain of the British merchant ship Rebecca, had his ear cut-off when his vessel was boarded by a Spanish patrol boat off the coast of Florida, after an accusation of smuggling. The peace-time incident was the spark that would eventually initiate a prolonged period of hostility between the two nations. The subsequent war – dubbed The War of Jenkins' Ear (retroactively – over 100 years after its conclusion) would last from 1739 to 1748. To commemorate this anniversary, we've compiled these deals to encourage wargamers to begin to explore this period of history using the award-winning Black Seas rules system.
