Cornwallis's retreat

The intention is for this to be the First game of mini Campaign based off the Biscay Campaign of 1795.  Brunswick and Bellerophon decided they would rather fight than run in the face of a large French fleet.  

Brunswick was the focus of the French fire early one taking shots form no less an 4 french ships including the Flagship Peuple 

Tonnent Grappled the Bellerophon  an action joined by the Nestor and a savage battle ensured

Close action as the Brunswick is overwhelmed by a broad side from the French Flag and the Bellerophon fights on.
HMS Mars took on no less then 4 French ships holding its own for serval turns allowing the Royal Sovereign to escape. 

In the end the French Fleet is battered but two English ships are captured and a Third escapes.
