This Napoleonic naval battle was fought using the Close Action rules. The game designer, Mark Campbell, hosted, refereed, and provided the ship miniatures, which make a great spectacle.
This particular battle was fought between the British (dark blue bases) and French (light blue bases) using their Indian Ocean squadrons. The post-game wrap-up seemed to favor the British, although in my opinion had we played a few more turns the game could have easily gone the other way.
I was running the 70-gun Burford for the British, which explains why many of the photos center around that ship.

Turn 12 was disastrous for Burford, as she lost a mast and
then, due to a critical hit, lost another one. My speed dropped from
6 hexes/turn to 2.
Unfortunately, I missed out on pictures of the final turn. It was a little anticlimactic for Burford anyway, as I was out of position to fire.
