HMS Avenger Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 These photos are a comparison with a recent attack on Sant Iago (Brits attacking Spain) and Trafalgar itself (date of attack: 7-22-2016). Notice how the two British Lines, although angled slightly different, have the same general shapes and are working together the same way. Notice HMS Avenger is even in the same spot as the HMS Euryalus at the side of the HMS Victory herself at the head of the left line and also notice how HMCS Warrior (the head of the right line) is slightly ahead of the second ship in that line. Anyways, the Brits cut into the Spanish fleet and fought them ship to ship. A link to the actual battle (uploaded to youtube thanks to Brit Captain "John Swigglebottoms") is listed below. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL LOCO Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Familiar to Trafalgar battle ....and I was 3rd Spanish last in line (victory). I saw the British veer right but was ordered to keep in line. I wanted to veer right and get close to towers with the last 3 of us. I got sandwiched between 1 santisimas and 1 victory and I was sunk in no time. Good tactics and it worked. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
