The Capture of the Pomone, 23rd April 1794 - Kiss Me Hardy


Having been away on a four month trip to the other side of the globe, it was a real treat to get back to the club for my first game of 2023 and an opportunity to pick up things from last year when we play-tested some historical scenarios I've put together for Kiss Me Hardy looking at 1793, the first year of the Revolutionary War at sea - see link below if you missed those particular AAR's

This time Tom and I were taking the trip back in time to the English Channel in 1794, off the Channel Island of Guernsey, as two opposing frigate squadrons met in a somewhat decisive clash to establish dominance in the area, and an action that would lead to the British capturing one of the new French 40-gun super-frigates, Pomone, that had caused a stir in Royal Naval ranks and would lead to the future development of up-gunned 32's, 36's and more of the larger 38-gun models as a response.


The club is running two meetings a month until April and with an ever growing membership is seeing often four games running at any time, making posting AAR's to the club blog an interesting and very nice challenge, so to make space for other games you can get a full AAR over at JJ's Wargames.


So if you would like to know more then just follow the link below.
