Game Turn Two

I will wait for the other captains to arrive and meet as

many of the admiral's staff as I can

>Captain Giles is the Flag Captain he clearly dislikes Americans and doesn’t mind voicing his opinion. He seems to admire the French.

>Leftenant Harris is the Flag Leftenant he seems capable if inexperienced. He wears a very fine dueling rapier instead of a normal naval officers sword.

and try to learn more about the

garrison commander, Lord Rupert, and his daughter Sarah.

>Lord Rupert is Lieutenant General, acting Governor of the Island and Garrison Commander. Definitely well connected he has a reputation as Cavalry officer and is really out of his element. His daughter Lady Sarah Rupert is said to have above average looks, but not a true beauty by any means. Her numerous suiters are as attracted by the family connections, patronage, and wealth she could provide more than her appearance. It has been rumored she is somewhat promiscuous and was the misstress of a certain Royal Navy Captain on the Bermuda Station. His sudden promotion and transfer is thought by many not to be a coincidence so close to the Lady’s arrival.

I will also inquire

as to the officers that will be assigned, masters *particularly a competent

sailing master, as I am unfamiliar with these waters), and crew.

Captain Giles reccomends a Masters Mate Mark Grunwald aboard the ‘Buffonia’ who is ready for promotion to Sailing Master and who has extensive service with the West Indies Squadron. “New hands for the crew,” he says with a grin “The Press Gang is recruiting and the jails will be sending their volunteers tomorow morning. As for officers perhaps we can find a spare Leftenant or Midshipman or two.”

Rear Admiral Medicus looks over his assembled Captains and says, “Gentlemen I know you are new to your commands but if you would like to recommend anyone for promotion or transfer please speak freely.”
