I must say it does have the look of the sort of action O'Brian describes. He is very good at capturing life and battle in the British navy, or he seems so, to a non sailor like me !<br /><br />Pretty ships as usual JJ. The mat makes the whole thing look very good.<br /><br />VinceVincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03691369848035290908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-61711157538601309082018-01-15T07:54:22.367-08:002018-01-15T07:54:22.367-08:00Ah, it's a Patrick O'Brian book, one of th...Ah, it's a Patrick O'Brian book, one of the Aubery-Maturin series, where Aubery fights several fleet actions in the Indian Ocean.Scott MacPheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239377268695489971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-9260239555189447722018-01-15T03:38:20.239-08:002018-01-15T03:38:20.239-08:00Good looking game, we use Blood, Bilge and Iron Ba...Good looking game, we use Blood, Bilge and Iron Balls, also card driven, (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Blood-Bilge-Iron-Balls-Tabletop/dp/1848845340) for our age of sail C18th/C19th naval battles.

We had two players on each side running a couple of squadrons. <br />I have used KMH for frigate actions with the additional cards to cover movement and I think they are an excellent set for that kind of game.<br />carojonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11826580638291659193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591229843590982581.post-81051087294328427482018-01-14T17:19:41.851-08:002018-01-14T17:19:41.851-08:00Have you been reading "The Mauritius Command?...Have you been reading "The Mauritius Command?" It looks like great fun! I have Kiss Me Hardy and some 1:1200 Langton models in their little baggies. As you do not think the rules suited for fleet actions, what is a good size for a Kiss Me Hardy game?Scott MacPheehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239377268695489971noreply@blogger.com
