Wind Direction: NE; Wind Velocity: 4-Heavy Breeze   Game Ended:  1 February 2007

Missed deadlines (British Time) will result in nmr (no move received-ships remain in position but may drift)
Some  ships have been altered slightly - carronades are combined with Guns L&R
 - the Orion has more crew, and Santa Ana more Hull. 
The Africa, Polythemus, Orion, & Principe de Asturias start  in the position occupied by alternate ships.
This enables equally balanced forces across the nations.

Game Log: 16 November 2005 - 1 February 2007
Turn39: Movement: Principe rams hard into the side of Agamemnan and the ships foul each other, while Santa Ana turns to face the broadside. Principe also tries to grapple but fails.
Boarding Parties: Agamemnan OBP 1cs; Formidable OBP 1cs; Principe OBP 3cs
Firing: Agamemnan(L)-Principe; Formidable(L)(cap)-Santa Ana; Santa Ana(R)-Formidable; Principe(R)- no crew to fire (all OBP)
Damage: Principe t5(6)=3H-2C-G; Santa Ana t1(2)=no damage; Formidable  t1(2)=no damage
Melee: Principe (3cs=14x2) vs Agamemnan (1cs=3x4). The strength of the Agamemnan crew is such that that are not overwhelmed by sheer numbers 14x2 vs 3x4 roll 6,4 =0,1 13x2 vs 3x4 roll 2,1=2,1 12x2 vs 3x2 The Agamemnan immediately surrenders as the Principe crew swarm all over them. The Principe is currently unmanned as the Agamemnan surrenders.
Since the Spanish/French now outnumber the British by 3:1 in terms of ships still afloat I propose that the Spanish/French have won the Battle of Trafalgar.

In terms of individual points: Richard (with 1 remaining crew) is the outstanding winner with 329 points Ken (with a few survivors held captive) 2nd with 296 points; Paul (no survivors) 3rd with 228 points; Chuck (winning the war, but not the Battle) 4th with 116 points; Brian (no survivors) 5th with 77 points; and Mark (no survivors) 6th with 48 points
Turn38: Movement: The British split up the two Spaniards.
Firing: Santa Ana(R)-Formidable; Principe(R)-open sea. Reloads: Agamemnan L; Formidable L; Santa Ana R; Principe R
Damage: Formidable t2(2)=G
Turn0: 6 joined:  November  2005 :     Setting Up : 3 ships x 2 players = 6 British, 6 French, 6 Spanish: colours to be allocated
