on Wargaming and other
stuff...

Being an account of my wargaming activities, a few sailing

Brilliant..

Just finished reading..

Jack Aubrey's long service is at last rewarded: he is promoted to the rank of Commodore and given a squadron of ships to command. His mission is twofold -- to make a large dent in the slave trade off the coast of Africa and, on his return, to intercept a French fleet set for Bantry Bay with a cargo of weapons for the disaffected among the Irish. Taking eighteen ships in the campaign against the slavers (where Maturin catches, but survives, yellow fever) Aubrey and his small fleet manage to catch the French off Ireland.. 10/10

Poor deluded fools hoping that one day there might actually be something worth reading here:
