Fight in the Channel

Combined fleet of two squadrons (1 French,1 Spanish) broke out of Brest and encountered Two Sqaudrons of the Royal Navy.
Victory for the RN after only 1 ship was demasted, the enemy lost 1 ship captured and scuttled and Two left on fire.

I have to admin the mat 'makes' these games, visually 

[Ilchester]

Nice pictures. What rules were you using?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Nice ships!

Who makes them?

And did you paint them yourself?

[Stewart 46A]

Thanks, the ships are by Navwar, rules we used wrer Trafalgar and yes these I did paint myself.
The mat is by Tinywargames.
I have sent 60 ships to Lancashire games via Santa for painting and ordered a new mat with a hex grid from Tinywargames for a Trafalgar game at Fisticuffs next year using 'form on the admirals wake' rule set that I picked up at Historicon this year.
My current mat will be on the bring and buy at fisticuffs if anyone's interested.

[Big Mike]

I am really looking  forward to May and Fisticuffs to fight this with 60 ships!

[Stewart 46A]

It will be good to have you onboard

[Colonel Kilgore]

Thanks for the details Stewart.

Maybe you can even convince Martin of the merits of using hexes (particularly since mats are now so readily available) for sea games?

Such as piratical adventures...?
