Nautical Challenge!

Gentlemen I propose the following
challenge, that we over the holidays
each build one ridiculously armed
warship and two smaller gun boats
each in 15mm. For a game to be
played at the end of January, in a
scenario similar to (but our own and
in a nautical nature) the great work
of the gang at Major General Tremorden
Rederring's Colonial Wargames Page. Of
course as you've probably guessed I'm
referring to Al Bunrab Ouargistan's
Landship Trafalgar.

**********************************
Of the very few guidelines that I will offer
you one is the size of your large ship is not
to exceed 15" in length and 5" in width. The
small craft can be a maximum of 8" long and
4' wide. Also refer to the Major General on
his building and Gaming with Ships and Boats
philosophy, they will apply.
*********************************

Replacement rule, you may build two more
smaller ships in place of the large one if you
wish. Remember the armor will be lower and
will not last as long in a fight as the larger
would.
**********************************

Each player will also be assigned by dice roll
an ally from a selection on non-western not
as highly developed groups....just to make it
interesting. These will be supplied by me from
my collection of War Junks, Dhows, Xbecs,
and others.
**********************************

I further propose that our resident "Old Slat" Sir
Paul act as judge in the building phase, if he will
accept.
**********************************

Other rules will be worked out as time allow, and
we agree to etc.
**********************************

Gentlemen I want this to be epic and silly as hell,
I know you wont let me down!
