Last week at the usual gaming hangout we put on an Aeronef game involving an attack by multiple pirate/renegade factions (Barbary Corsairs, the Comintern and the Fenians) against the British Royal Yacht (carrying the Princess of Wales) and an escort consisting of a couple of RN cruisers and some USN reinforcements. The goal was for the yacht to escape from the opposite side of the table while the escorts engaged the pirates. The escorts made short work of a number of the smaller ships but became bogged down engaging some of the larger pirate ships and a couple of the small pirate ships were able to close with the yacht and attempt to board it. Fortunately, the heroic Royal Marines were able to repulse the boarders and the princess was able to escape the vile clutches of the pirates (better luck next time guys).
