Thank you sir , gaining numbers slow but sure .

Nothing wrong in changing a name , to suit the role play involved in the game . Quick and easy to do .

Friendly group and no in house fighting , everyone looks out for each other .

Anyone looking or thinking about joining , but maybe put off by the name change ... Don't be . If you are asked to change names , it can be done in just a few minutes . If you have to change bases , and need a escort just ask anyone who is online will be happy to help .

After Action report 19th March Myself (frigate) along with Lee Smith Patronage member (Trincomalee) encounted a French AI fleet ( 2 3rd rate ships of the line , 1 Constitution , 4 frigates ). we engaged along with 2 other english frigates , sorry to say the other english were sunk within the first 15 minutes . WE continued to engage letting the enemy frigates close with us , while keeping the 3rd rates and the constitution at a distance . In a 2 hour running battle we sunk the 4 enemy frigates and badly damaged the constitution . Having deemed honor had been served we then withdrew with only medium damage to our own ships .

Thank you for giving me Patronage. Name change went without a hitch , took only a few minutes and ended up with all my ships and stores plus money given back within a few seconds , really well done . Never fought big fleet actions before until joined , now learned that even the smallest ship has its place and the gold and ex earned far out ways what can be earned in Admiralty Orders. Great bunch of guys , look forward to sailing with you .
