Thank you old chap ...Hello there Maudlin Jack Tar,<br /><br />Thank you old chap - much appreciated. I want to make some better terrain once I get a larger gaming mat. The shore pieces are 3” squares of hardboard I had laying around from a Volley and Bayonet project years ago, the buildings - which are painted Monopoly types for the most part - were passed on to me years ago by an old gaming chum, along with the Heroics and Ros trees. The two jetties are wall sections from the Town in a Bag set.<br /><br />The main thing was that the rules worked and so I am happy with the overall outcome. For sure it was a contrived scenario but it played well enough and the only issues with the rules that need addressing are relatively minor.<br /><br />All in all it was a good way to spend a few hours.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-32410332752680812422021-02-10T09:07:13.388+00:002021-02-10T09:07:13.388+00:00Great game David, and the vessels and dock look fa...Great game David, and the vessels and dock look fantastic.Maudlin Jack Tarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02812453753286494021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-33157724543748813762021-02-10T08:45:22.137+00:002021-02-10T08:45:22.137+00:00Hi Steve J,

It was contrived and too crowded really but the important thing is that it played well enough - a couple of minor points of clarification are all that is needed - and augurs well for the future. For now though it is back to the ship building!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-25096912261712037702021-02-10T08:43:00.093+00:002021-02-10T08:43:00.093+00:00Hello there Peter,

I learned several valuable things from this exercise the main one being that the playing area was, as suspected, too small for the number of models. If you recall the board was very much a lash up in any event and I will organise something larger going forwards. I had gotten quite attached to the U.S.S. New Glory and the C.S.S. Secessionist but they will live to fight again at some point!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-59510737787507923472021-02-09T22:27:40.594+00:002021-02-09T22:27:40.594+00:00You obviously had fun and frankly, that's all ...You obviously had fun and frankly, that's all that matters! The models looked great and although there was limited space, this I didn't pick up on until you mentioned it. It certainly had the feel of a tight riverine cum bay action with limited room for manouevre.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-44220191078729418762021-02-09T21:00:04.868+00:002021-02-09T21:00:04.868+00:00Great AAR and photos David.
