I had Orcs over for a game of Cruel Seas, to give my new ships an outing. I'd come up with a scenario for a S-boat attack on a British convoy. We had great fun!

Those look very good!

A reminder I should spend less time in Tamriel helping the Northern Elswyr Defence force and more in the real world painting sutff :)

The wakes are provded with the game, fsn, and are also available for download from the Warlord site.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. Is there something printed on these (or am I needing new glasses?*)

Nice report!  :-bd

*(which I do, anyway!). :-[
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Don't look now but they are doing a Age of Sail version of this game.

I already have my own home written set of Age of Sail rules and 60 ships and frigates :)

Hopefully it will be better researched!

It was an excellent game , and my resolve at not buying any more figures or starting new period this year is getting worn down.  :)
