kirk23 nooooooooooo!!!!!!

Individual ships please - the names alone are enough to send one into rapturous delight - HMS Victory, HMS Temeraire, Santisima Trinidad, Redoutable etc etc - kirk23 don't compromise on this [:D]

Ok! You win 1st Rates etc are back in.[:)]

kirk23 have you given any thought at this stage as to how many ships the game could handle? Or is it too early for that?

As far as I know the game can handle a great many ships, at this stage my plan is that 1st,2nd,3rd and 4th Rate ships will have no effect on the Merchant Convoy routes,their job is simply to fight other ships of the line,so on the map initially they will be in port or on blockade duty.

The Frigates,Sloops & Brigs will mostly be positioned on or near the Merchant Convoy routes, The game will have many more Merchant routes on the map,than is in the game at the present time, all the Major Nations will have merchant supply routes going all over the map, which means the Naval game will be really interesting,because each sides forces will have to protect their own routes,while at the same time attack their enemy supply lanes.

Where are the corsairs ?

Nice, though the horse image could do with being a little smaller, I think

Barbary pirates, Barbary corsairs or Ottoman corsairs will be in the game, sailing from Morocco, Algiers etc.[:)]

Brand new French 1st Rate artwork in full colour.[:)]

I prefer this artwork to the previous, has more atmosphere - won't the counters need to be a bit smaller, though, otherwise they will overlap with other units when close? Also I assume would have a flag, rather than roundel?

OK ship image has been altered ships are now the same size as all other units.[:D]

Great stuff, there shouldn't be any confusion with land units as only naval units can be in sea hexes

Hi Kirk and SIPRES!

Do you like this counter style for ships? [:)]

Hi Kirk and SIPRES!

it's pretty, but I still actually prefer counters, I'm old school, I guess

Well, it's a counter not a selection! The hex border is the country colour and the background has a light transparency. By using the entire hexfield it's possible to size up the ships...[&:]

Oh I see! That's considerably improved my impression

That is what I call stunning what a gorgeous ship image.[&o]

A massive counter would distroy the "high sea" feeling and cover too much of the map background...[;)]

All hands on deck. Clear for action!
Mates, we will badly miss a function to seize a ship, right? [8|]
