Damn I'm rusty as hell... need to make time to get back into this. I do miss it.

His negotiating tactics? Slash and burn

Well since we've got some WW2 stuff... Das Boot Stalingrad Not a movie but a three part series https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEiwR5HGMkk

Movie was alright but this scene, which ends the movie, was top notch. Scaled down of course, pretty faithful representation of the pike and shot era

Napoleonic Anthem But quite frankly, I think I may have Royalist sympathies... how can you not after listening to this. One for the Spaniards

It's a color/colour kind of thing. Both are right, depends on your flavor.

What's with all the hate? All we want to do is rake.

My apologies. My brain turned the angels into angles and didn't spot them. Not much of an editor

Wonderful news! Though I would have preferred the Temeraire or Tonnant as we already have two first rates, any Jacques-Noel Sane ship that makes it to the game is a good thing.

Indeed. The margin for error is even smaller in group battles because the discipline needed to retake the wind is seldom present. The outcome of these battles can and is usually decided within the first two to five minutes. Once wind is conceded it's lights out, merely a matter of time. Shooting at masts is only effective if the charging team does to line astern rather than line abreast.

When put into action on Trafalgar, and people actually listen, it is a complete wipe out. Without fail, ever single time.

Let's not get carried away... What will constitute this board? Will it be made up of players or will it be an automated mechanic? The former will lead to politicking and acrimony, the latter will seldom hit the mark. It may serve the RP players, to an extent, but the vast majority of people would find going to a "military court" thanks to actions in game a bit tedious to say the least. Some things really don't add to the enjoyment of the game, this would be a waste of resources for little gain, in my humble opinion.
