Thanks for the Bomb Ketch pictures! that is going to be about the size of
it...in fact, almost none of my ships will be bigger then that.
However, i think i could handle the ships you have in harbor. because, here is
my fleet:
The British squadron:
2 Schooners, basilisk and shearwater,
2 cutters, rippon and comet
1 brig, Trial
1 Bomb Ketch, Vesuvius
1 Sloop, confounder (a remake of Goldfinch)
1 Frigate, Halifix. (flagship.)
that is eight ships. they are all small ships, but i find two things: small
ships can get in alot more interesting trouble then ships of the line, ships of
the line are VERY hard to make, and last of all- who wants to blockade, and
rot on patrol?
With my fleet of little ships, i can go into Port Brique and destroy, loot and
cut out your ships at will!
you might have a chance if you deployed at sea..but wait, the Frogs always did
let their ships and their crews rot at anchor!!!
Frog!!(best luck on you ships, anyhow.)
HH, Commodore of HM squadron, deployed in the azores, currently.
