Yesterday Night WASP assambled  2 Renomèe’s, 3 Ceb’s, 2 Snows and a Privateer for a small Fleethunting. It seemed to be a quiete Evening, we sunk 3 Danish AI 3rd and their escort‘s. Sometimes together with free Captains, sometimes with little help of others. Towards the End oft he Evening, we got news of a Danish Playerfleet sitting infront of Gustavia trying to provocate a Battle. We tried to get there but only one of our Ceberus was able to join the Battle. Our Fleet had 3800BR the Danes had… well … 8000is BR. Our Frigate told us taht most of your Fleet are trying to get out oft the Battle before they woud get massacred..  There was little to help, so we lurked around the Port in hope to catch Danes wich were to late to join.

 

Suddendly a  Danish Frigate wich must have left the Big Battle jumped a French Player and his Escorts joust near Gustavia. Shortly after,  a RUS 3rd  Rate and 2 other RUS Frigates joind the Battle. The French were badly outgunned and outnumber, so we scratched togehter waht we coud and jumped in.

 

WASP brougth 3 Frigates and a Snow into the Fight together with Ship’s from IKEA and HRE and several Free Captains we engaged. The RUS Player’s try to run, but some of our Ships had Long 9 Pounders an were able ti keeo them in Battle. After a few Minutes we were able to catch up with them. To our suprised, they didnt turn and fight even when they knew they coudnt escape.

A first Frigate sunk soon  and a another blew up,killing our brave little Snow’s Crew… completely.. the last Frigate rammed – ME -  and started to burn.. We were splined into each other and i tough i woud blow up as well. But i got really lucky, somehow the RUS Frigate flip over my rear and  sunk without exploding. So we engaged the remaining  3rd Rate.. a lucky shot killed its main Mast leaving it surrounded by the Wolf’s. After several Broadside it started burning as well. Some players had striked their Sails and lied next to the burning 3th rate.. Well some did get away, a Niagara got blown up and a Frigate lost all its Crew..  I see some potential for Improvement J

 

After all it started out like a „normal“ evening but turned out to be very exciting  at its end.

The two French who took part in the action, were me and Clydefrog, with two Cerberus. 

We came north to look for trouble with the Danish. We saw a great enemy fleet en route to a Swedish port, we tried to join in the PB, but it was too late. So we decided to engage a Danish frigate quickly, she also out from the main action; we knew that were many Swedish allies nearby and also other Danish.

As described by our friend Swedish, the confrontation took place between about 15 French-Swedish ships against three Danish frigates and a 3rd. Myself, being the first in line, suffered the first enemy heavy broadsides. So I decided to bring me back behind the lines doing a hazardous 360° in the middle of our fleet.
In the final i went near the 3rd's tail and with several shoots i demasted her.
The rest is fire and flames!
 
Thanks for Swedish friends for their excellent cooperation, we hope in other similar actions.
Salut!

I'm avaricious by design, but Two dollars per quarter year is a steal for a quality print like this! Do you deliver in Willemstad too?

 

Edit:. ... woops, wrong thread. Still developing my forum warrior skills.  :(
