This week I got to meet up with friends to playtest another scenario written for Kiss Me Hardy and our upcoming annual club Lardy event Clotted Lard entitled Sercey off Sumatra.

This action saw an encounter between two British 74-gun ships of the line, Arrogant and Victorious under the command of Commodore Lucas and six French frigates, mainly composed of the newer 40-gun types, commanded by Rear-Admiral Sercey.

With a vital part of the British trade network at threat and with limited naval resources available in the theatre, completing the mission whilst sustaining as little damage as possible was a key driver in this interesting small naval battle.

Thank you chaps. The larger scale definitely adds impact to the table.
