Setting Sail with Far Distant Ships

One of the sets of rules I'll be trying out over the holidays is Long Face Games Far Distant Ships. These are designed for fleet actions but I'm going to start small with a couple of squadrons of French and British third rates, using the 1/2400th scale models I've brought along for the purpose. I'll be playing solo too, which is always a good test of a set of rules and how easy they are to manage.
