Black Seas HMS Victory

I'd assumed HMS Victory would be included in the British Fleet box I bought and was somewhat surprised that it didn't. No matter, as soon as Wayland Games had it in stock I ordered one!

I now have two 1st Rates and three 3rd Rates for the British compared to one 1st Rate and six Third Rates for the Spanish. As ever I'm not sure I'll buy any more but I have thought that several times before.

I think perhaps it would be worth looking at other rule sets, while Black Seas is relatively simple for two people to manage twelve ships may need even simpler rules!
