HMS Ajax was Captured by the French but Formidable was taken by the English. The Allies lost Argonauta, America and San Rafael sunk, while Swiftsure and Firme where forced to strike, in addition Terrible and Pluton took significant damage(below half). Several other allied ships suffered minor to moderate damage. On the English side, Hero and Agamemnon were sunk, HMS is Triumph was forced to strike and had only two hull left so she is probably scuttled, Barfleur, Malta, and Defiance significantly damaged (below half) Additionally Dragon and Glory are Damage but still fully able to fight. The allies have 10 ships that are still more or less fully combat capable while the English have 7 (both side include ships with some damage). </div><div><br /></div><div> Allied vs English</div><div>Captured 1 vs 1</div><div>Sunk 3 vs 2</div><div>Struck <span> 2 vs 1</span></div><div>Damaged 6 vs 5 (all types) </div><div><br /></div><div>Over all I would call this a Minor English victory. Both Sides are battered but the English Government probably won't sack the British Admiral as they did historically. I suspect the French ships run to Ferrol with thier prize though they might be able to try again the next day if they felt specially aggressive. Napoleon probably still heads to Austria as I don't see the French pushing on to Brest after this mauling. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div></div></div>AdamC1776http://www.blogger.com/profile/02279351293614637287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408506738047992142.post-54887155713194977972023-05-18T22:36:00.001-04:002023-05-18T22:36:07.290-04:00Ships for Cape Finisterre at Huzzah con<p> Like most GMs I've been under the gun to get things ready for the convention.

Fougueux is raked by HMS Revenge and strikes but Tonnent stern rakes Revenge inflicting terrible damage. At this point we are out of time one two English ships struck but both would be recovered. The English sank one Spanish ship and captured another and would probably capture one French ship. 5 French ships are in good order while almost all the English have been hit and some badly hit badly. It's a bit of a draw and a messy one at that, possibly messier than the historical battle. My fog rules played well and everyone had fun a good day of gaming.AdamC1776http://www.blogger.com/profile/02279351293614637287noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8408506738047992142.post-81529787682090830312023-05-03T22:44:00.002-04:002023-05-03T22:44:30.678-04:00Fog Banks for Cape Finisterre <p> I put these together for my upcoming games at Wicked Gaming center and Huzzah 202</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsoxuRioG3HWVIyDuBDctN1Vn8YfdRQ5Hj35l196UlxerziD7sTZMXR4BW8S4IdZiduGUGxLc-x6KHY36CnQd7sHfy17NpN7S2ry2siMTOW-Q5ueQCVjTQQ8pbdMZZM4v_EcH8JnzOyH2tbgOyNwo-BdcGZdLoivcLEq88Vv5z4O02py818uW2gN7a/s4160/16831676533544824664851725363131.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsoxuRioG3HWVIyDuBDctN1Vn8YfdRQ5Hj35l196UlxerziD7sTZMXR4BW8S4IdZiduGUGxLc-x6KHY36CnQd7sHfy17NpN7S2ry2siMTOW-Q5ueQCVjTQQ8pbdMZZM4v_EcH8JnzOyH2tbgOyNwo-BdcGZdLoivcLEq88Vv5z4O02py818uW2gN7a/s320/16831676533544824664851725363131.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p>Nothing fancy just some cotton balls on cardboard.

Typically, these were simply siege lines writ large: redoubts and entrenchments<br />worked into the terrain which would run for miles, and offer patrolling troops a way to easily fend off<br />any incursion. Such lines were employed by both the French and their enemies at different points. The<br />most famous example of action along such lines was Marlborough's crossing of the lines of "Ne Plus<br />Ultra," but there were other examples in many theatres and in earlier wars.<br />Such lines were not the equal of proper fortifications along their entire length, and this scenario<br />depicts an Imperialist attempt to force a passage through a more weakly constructed point in such a<br />system of lines manned by the French.<div><br /></div><div><div>Imperialists</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Regiment Starhemberg: 4 battalions Average rank-firing infantry with battalion guns</li><li>Regiment Bernstorff (Luneburg-Celle): 1 battalion Average platoon-firing infantry</li><li>Regiment Erbprinz Wilhelm (Luneburg-Celle): 1 battalion Average platoon-firing infantry</li><li>Savoyen Dragoons: 1 two-squadron unit of Averge pistol dragoons</li><li>Imperial Artillery: 1 battery Average light field guns</li></ul></div><div>French</div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Regiment Perche: 2 battalions Average rank-firing infantry</li><li>Regiment Bresse: 1 battalion Veteran rank-firing infantry</li><li>Royal Artillery: 1 battery of Average light field guns</li><li>Gendarmes de France: 1 two-squadron unit of Veteran pistol cavalry</li></ul></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3CIdB_fH_qzlkLwp1cVzJfXvTfNE8pI6rqq_WJpu78k8Z8bS8ATvMugD0-gQuXCTZ5U5fT1GAcPgK9KNLQX57FMlokLPv_JTX8wxMYbB19ODCqb2nVvlm1QrEpsCm-KPBhy6XrsgYUAmJlxC674mzYzCBtoKYErZbI0Nl0K6onDEVq2LpW-hPnSQ/s4160/20230210_195816.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX3CIdB_fH_qzlkLwp1cVzJfXvTfNE8pI6rqq_WJpu78k8Z8bS8ATvMugD0-gQuXCTZ5U5fT1GAcPgK9KNLQX57FMlokLPv_JTX8wxMYbB19ODCqb2nVvlm1QrEpsCm-KPBhy6XrsgYUAmJlxC674mzYzCBtoKYErZbI0Nl0K6onDEVq2LpW-hPnSQ/s320/20230210_195816.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I'm the French comander facing a hoard of Imperialist infanrty. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1h6EQ4y_Ry5H144MGgeokX14gfDPwSPYljORUti0V8nY1_8h_qRsrD_1-cnVZZR-yEsJ2nQnsHCbzznS-UulQLdb3kp6T56UrzSi6MFevrrsG5cOiKEfjgTAsyB5vH1zKra93JYoBtnPy5_3-RvrzZmtNQbywDAEfcxi6bVA38RiRI1U1RHXhx4Go/s4160/20230210_201243.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1h6EQ4y_Ry5H144MGgeokX14gfDPwSPYljORUti0V8nY1_8h_qRsrD_1-cnVZZR-yEsJ2nQnsHCbzznS-UulQLdb3kp6T56UrzSi6MFevrrsG5cOiKEfjgTAsyB5vH1zKra93JYoBtnPy5_3-RvrzZmtNQbywDAEfcxi6bVA38RiRI1U1RHXhx4Go/s320/20230210_201243.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>Movement is deliverate (turns are 20 seconds) troops only move 2 inces at a time (about 50 yards) I open up as they reach short range for my gun.
