Turn 2 Results.

Well the second turn is now played out. and the turn sequence was drawn at random with Spanish ship moves in the first phase and British ship moves in the final phase. The first Photo shows the turn sequence in order and this sequence becomes more important as each turn progresses. For club games we turn the cards one at a time to maintain suspense and to allow players some anticipation and hope that they will be in the order they want.

Overall picture of the table.

HMS "Cutlass"  a 38 Gun Frigate just arrives at the left hand corner of the Board.

Captains Rousell and King now have sufficient sea
room between them.
(Captain Ray Rousell had not named his ship so I have Christened it HMS Badger)
If you want a different name let me know.

The Spanish fleet leaving port. SS Guano, San Francis, SS Pina Colada
. Two as yet un named ships with Capitan Pyllion and Capitan Loki in control of them.
And Finally Unicornia ( a 44 gun Frigate)
 

 (Again Capitan Fran had not named his ship so the crew have started calling is San Francis!)

I will try to get a few more Frigates painted up this week
 so the "Unicornia" (Mathyoo) is a substitute ship at this time
I hope to have a better one for next turn.

Close Manoeuvres from two British captains.
(If they were ships of opposing sides HMS Challenge would be notified
 that he may have the opportunity to ram and /or board next turn If the turn sequence allowed.

Assuming these two ships coordinate their movement
No collision will occur.
 

HMS Pachyderm
heads towards the other two ships on
this side of the table

General location of HMS Pachyderm to HMS Challenge and HMS

The closest ships are still out of range of each other

There is another sail on the distant horizon out to see. AS yet it remains unidentified.

Don't forget you can either turn (if you choose) before or after you move. Just make it as clear as possible to me.

All the ships EXCEPT HMS Challenge are still at full sail,for next turn. Also kindly note that the Two frigates so far in the game can both move slightly faster then your ships of the line. But only slightly. (About 1cm a turn faster).

As ever if you need any more pictures I will be happy to either publish them on the blog if a comment is made on this Blog or Email them to you privately if you email me privately! So It is up to you how secretive you want to be. The same goes for any questions. All your previous turns emails are now deleted ready for the next batch.

As the next turn will be on Saturday 16th August. I will need your turns by Friday the 15th.

Thanks for the turn guys and I look forward to your next orders.

Cheers Clint
