Off the coast of Portugal, Oct 1810:
General Aurthur Wellesley currently holds the Lines of Torres
Vedras against a French army under Marshal Andre Massena. This
is only possible with the supplies being shipped to him through
the port of Lisbon, by convoys escorted by Royal Navy ships.
Even after the Battle of Trafalgar, French naval forces still
occasionally attempt to slip the blockade, and attack these convoys.
By sheer luck, a significant French squadron has managed to slip
out of Brest, elude British patrols, discover and attack one of the
most important convoys of the year -- a convoy carrying not only the
pay chest of Wellesley's army, but the next installment of the subsidy
paid by the British Empire to keep Portugal and Spain in the war.
And to make things more confusing, why is there an American squadron
lurking just out of range?
This game will use ships from the "Wizkids" Pirates series, using
rules based on Mike Hudak's "Full Sail!" ruleset.
