Well said sir. Would be less conflicting if the aforementioned "chronicler" would have used appropriate age of sail honours to bestow sir Gregory. I am sure they would be much more interesting and provide a tip for further research how real "pvp marks" could be.

If memory serves there were very few medals awarded anywhere in this time period, the VC was invested as a direct result of courage displayed by the Light Brigade at Balaklava around 1854/5, within a decade the Congressional Medal of Honour had been invested and was certainly awarded during the American Civil War, Thomas W. Custer achieved distinction by earning two, yet achieved less fame than his brother George Armstrong Custer. Some Captains were already Lords and Barons in their own right, some were Knights inherited from family ties. Some, like, Nelson were elevated to the peerage for services rendered to the nation, by Trafalgar he had been a Lord and Baron Bronte for many years. Admirals were often created Lords upon receiving their Broad Pennant as Commodore's, battle honours were typically Earldoms, Baronetcies or the Knights Commander of the order of Bath (KCB) for middle ranking officers and Captains of ships even as junior as Lt. Many European nations had similar ranking systems in place, particularly Monarchies, France I think ceased the practice post revolution and the United States never took it up.

Indeed, Rourkes Drift (including Private Hook who had a reputation for malingering, Lt. Chard, Lt. Bromhead and Cpl Schiess a Swiss National) secured one of the highest number of VC's awarded for a single action (11 in all), the list is long and distinguished.

Thonys Posted January 29, 2018 Posted January 29, 2018 (edited) 16 hours ago, Bearwall said: Old news. Hear ye! Hear ye! The russian empire launched a daring attack on the danish port of Coquibacoa. The Danish fleet sent to protect the habour managed through a valiant and sturdy defence to keep the port and the surrounding areas. The battles raged around the port for hours into the night as several squadrons of danish-norwegian and swedish ships clashed with russian and dutch fleets. The russian losses of their deployed naval forces were severe and it is believed that the dutch received a battering from the danish-norwegian navy. The port itself was never in real danger of falling to presumably drunken russian captains though one dutch captain refused - politely - to taste the brownie fleet admiral Lars Kjaer offered in a skirmish outside of the portbattle. Again the Danish-Norwegian captain DarkJoker went on an outright killing spree the like of which has seldom been seen in the carribean.

SirAlatriste Posted January 30, 2018 Posted January 30, 2018 BATTLE PORT OF MIMBRES (SVERIGE vs SPAIN) [HRE vs VLTRA]: Spanish fleet commanded by VLTRA smashed the best of Sverige's nation in an epic port battle at Mimbres. Jorge lead spanish vessels, managing the long cannons ships majority and the 3 carronades ships in 3 coordinate different groups, surprising the maneuver to the sweden elite. They were carronades to the maximum but we knew to play from far avoiding the melee and the boarding, focusing the sails... Redii and company's line was supposed to split the spanish army but it was perfectly calculated and we regroup helping/covering teammates... Broken the formations, battle was tie while the Area points were seriously disputed by the flying ships (Princess of Disney). One hour later, after several towers down and the worst wind we had this week I guess, the Sverige was defeated fighting until escape was enabled. But there were no scapism possible, the users who runned away were then picked and sunked due to the blocking fleet commanded by Cetme. It was an honor to fight against you again Sverige. See you again tomorrow maybe? 10

Un saludo y buenas noches. The context of this battle: Spain had to go to William's bay PB against Sweeds. A nice Sweedish fleet went in OW to tagg the Spanish PB fleet outside of Mimbres, the battle was very strange in term of connection stability, in mid run of battle Spanish got a large crash that kept 6 or 7 players out of NA for a very good while... (Could Sweeds confirm they suffered connection problem too ? it looked it was only our side) some of us managed to re-enter the battle but other were kept into the "queuing to connection" screen. Despite of this crash, the battle was won by the PB fleet, on the other hand, William's Bay was secured. GGA

I was enjoy Good try for try boarding french players...but may be too late Circles are a good thing. But GB use ever same formation... BLOB. We use much Guerilla mode ^^ it s work well against BLOB Good fight Toto..cu later I wasn't at that pb but I know your guerilla mode is the useless tactic to use. You only postpone the inevitable outcome of you sinking. Lucky for me you only see a blob because that tells me a lot about how good you are. . I know the reason why we lost without even asking.

If we down sails of your victory (not shoot on the wasa...aga or others ships) we have only two ships to shoot for win. Easy win for us. Thx to you Easy win because of our failure not you skill. There is a difference.
