Frigates, Sloops, Brigs and Schooners


I've never played Black Seas and don't intend to start but I am interested in the smaller unrated models up to and including the fifth rate frigates. I bought the starter set here in France last year and acquired some extra frigates and brigs from a friend (thanks DC!) to go with them, then moved on to other projects. Today, I spotted this bargain on eBay to add to my plastic pile of shame. The plan, if you can call it that, is to use them for some French Revolution of early Napoleonic channel action, using a suitable 'skirmishy' set of rules, to which I'm open to suggestions. Just don't hold your breath!

  1. I do love the Black Seas ships, especially for smaller actions - and being nearly as esoteric as you, that means something like the Chilean-Bolivian-Peruvian War of the Confederation 1836-39...

    I downloaded the official Chilean Navy history online - it's a long job translating it, but oh my! What a story!
