I think I fished them out for a blog posting about 5 years back, and that is all the action they have seen since I moved into this house in 1997. <br /><br />I still recall an action from before then, during which I, as commander of the Confederate squadron, sank four vessels - two of them my own. One gunboat went down after ramming a Union ironclad, and the following CSA boat found itself unable to avoid a collision. The other missed an enemy vessel it attempted to ram, then found itself heading for shore at high speed and no room to steer clear or time to throw all astern full. So that gunboat turned itself into a pier...<br /><br />Great game though!Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-28313423311004115332018-06-27T20:41:18.458+01:002018-06-27T20:41:18.458+01:00I'll have to take a closer look at that.
