I don’t play, Black Seas, my preferred rule set being Kiss Me Hardy from the Too Fat Lardies.<br /><br />That said, I know from the Warlord Facebook page that they are planning to bring out a model sloop as they increase the range to include a 4th rate and a 64-gun third rate so they will no doubt produce the stats for those ships in time.<br /><br />Hope that helps<br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-64541410764804509082021-07-02T04:43:26.688-07:002021-07-02T04:43:26.688-07:00Sorry for the late post, what a fantastic conversi...Sorry for the late post, what a fantastic conversion! I was wondering if you use these sloops for Black Seas and if so what statistics do you use?<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />JoeSceadugengahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13303810957268207807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-60553262929248764202020-07-31T05:11:04.294-07:002020-07-31T05:11:04.294-07:00Thanks Vince.

You have everything from landing a political officer on some hostile shore, to tackling privateers or running important despatches to and from fleets many weeks from home. Add in the possibilities of prize money for captured ships and cargoes and you can't go far wrong.<br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691369848035290908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-64981005075008604422020-07-29T11:12:01.575-07:002020-07-29T11:12:01.575-07:00Hi Dave,

Hope that helps.<br /><br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-17820008490298291192020-07-29T11:09:03.715-07:002020-07-29T11:09:03.715-07:00Hi Greg, thanks mate, much appreciated.

I have a few historical small ship refights I want to do and these 20-22 gun sloops/corvettes appear in a fair few of them so I wanted to make sure that they would be a straight forward conversion, and am pleased with how this first one turned out.<br /><br />JJcarojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-39027164441395184322020-07-28T15:31:36.778-07:002020-07-28T15:31:36.778-07:00The sloops look very nice.
