Small ditty, penned about the L’Orient at the Nile:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy stood on the burning deck<\/span>Whence all but he had fled;<\/span>The flame that lit the battle’s wreck<\/span>Shone round him o’er the dead.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Game played using Rod Langton Fast napoleonic Naval Rules, Signal Close Action fast play<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Very nice terrain, ehm water mat from TerrainMat<\/a>. Gorgeous 1\/700 ships from Skytrex<\/a>, painted by Robert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The British had three ships, names, Temeraire, Orion and Agamennon, small respect to the enemy, crack crew, smart commander (player).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Spanish had three big heavily armed ships, Santissima Trinidad, Monarca and Santa Anna, average crew, dummy commander (player).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Battle Report<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Initial positions: British upwind, ships of the line abreast, fourth rate alone on a side. Spanish in line of battle, but dangerously close to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The valiant spanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

First broadside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The British fight back, precise shots falling on the enemy hulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Monarca approaches the first british ship, and manoeuvres to try to cut the enemy battle line. It suffers heavy damage from enemy fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A very very lucky shot from the spanish manage to hit the Santa Barbara of Orion. Two 3D6 rolls, 18 and 17 respectively. The ship explodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boom seen by seagulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
