My plan was to have each player control around 4 or 3 ships each with 2 players on a side. <br />Allied fleets are in the future. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8192530324588247864.post-10958986582126239432020-04-01T00:01:37.547-07:002020-04-01T00:01:37.547-07:00Oh, and thanks for the blog plug Stew.

So I'm assuming you have 5 Brits and 5 French. How are you going to split the remaining 5 ships? Or maybe make them Spanish so you can have a 3-way game. Or an allied fleet vs the other fleet.

For me, my fingers and abilities suck so I have eleven which were made by Rod Langtons wife before her eyesight gave out many, many years ago. She was a true artisan!<br />Keep it going on the project, keep it safe off the field and take care of yourself and that young family.

Is there much scope for smaller ships? Line of battle is great and all, but it was such a small part of the wars... all the tiny ships and frigates got so much more action. <br /><br />And I certainly hope that things are returned to normal by the time we get to Kublacon! I would not count on it though.
