Turn 16 Results.

Yes it's that time of the week again. Boy does it seem to come round faster and faster. I suspect there is not that many turn left now though. As several ships really are on their last legs and one ship has lost all the guns on one side! I mention no names! But I will tell him in his individual damage report.

About 1/2 the players Ok slightly less then half did not get turns in this week they know who they are and as such things like repairs and shooting become harder for them. And unless I do get a turn order they don't change course at all and just go where the wind blows them. Ahh well.

Yes that's me on a step lader over my garage inspection pit waiting for the accident to happen. Hands up if you think I am daft? Yes all of you.  Only one hand Ray both hands does not make me double daft!

All the following photos start at the left hand rear most sector and work anti-clockwise round the board.

Ok here we go.

 Poor Edwin on HMS Inconsistent being fired on by 3 Spanish ships has this turn struck his colours. But that was after he was also to change course and shoot into them as well. So congrats to the Dons for forcing him out of the game. And Commiserations for Mr King who really has done a very good job of lasting so long in the game while under continued threat of destruction, and only being on one mast.

 HMS Cutlass finally did get a shot off but his best target was masked behind HMS Agamemnon. San Francis and SS Guarno both look like they are now past the British line and may (if they choose) make it to open water. But yet I suspect they will come back looking to get a prize. The Scallywags!

 Unicornico has once more taken a battering and is in a poor state now listing, taking on water as well as Sangria! I know what Mathyoo is like.

 The only thing that is in the way for Milsey if HMS Challenge and Captain Campbell is still escorting SS Pina Colada from the board.

Meanwhile at the other side of the board Captain Big/Lucky Lee) Hadley was able to unload a broadside at long range into Loki without reply. When Loki had the chance to fire he was out of arc. The rules can be horrid like that. (But I like them as It means I can blame the rules and not my command inadequacies).

As you should all know if you want any pictures I will send them out as soon as possible but kindly allow 48 hours as sometimes real life gets in the way. AND I will expect your next turns to be in by the 22nd November.

Thanks for looking all. And expect an AAR on Monday. all the best Clint
