The Battle of Camperdown, The Leeward Division Attacks

[carojon]

As part of a larger project to refight the Battle of Camperdown in 1:700 scale, I have been looking at trying out a new set of rules namely Far Distant Ships by David Manley and designed with big battles in mind.



The rules needed some adapting, with them being designed primarily for 1:2400 or 1:1200, but after a bit of rescaling and a few other minor tweaks proved to offer a very compelling game with plenty of decision points, narrative and the ability to match the timings of this reasonably well documented battle, with an historic outcome to match.

Most interesting, and lovely ships. How long did it take to play 11 turns?
