Game Turn Two

Captain Stark sits back at his desk very glade to be done with all the

formalities of reading in and taking command. He will look over the ships

log .

<The ‘Watcher’ has been a busy ship spliting her time between enforcing the numerous blockades and convoy duty. Always in action and taking numerous prizes.

He sends for his First Leftenant Fitzroy, I would like to talk with each of

the Sr. Officers and get their impressions of the ship; I will tell each that...

First Leftenant Basil Fitzroy “ The crew has a lot of replacements sir, she took a lot of casualties in that last action, but we’ve got a well trained cadre, over 75% rated able bodied seamen he states proudly”

Second Leftenant Emmanuel Reams “The guns are in excellent shape sir, we’ll give the Dago’s, Frogs, and Yanks a bellyfull of shot for their trouble. Tell me sir is it true that the sloop ‘Willow’ has a yankee, he makes sound like a curse, as her First Leftenant”

Third Leftenant Acting Leftenant James MacDonald “The midshipman are coming along quite well sir, they can read signals better than a certain Flag Leftenant I know. Several other Leftenants look away smiling, its obvious MacDonald only just recently received Acting Rank.

Senior Midshipman Hanse Davion Signals Midshipman Herman Steiner Junior Midshipman Jamie Wolf Junior Midshipman Morhan Kell Junior Midshipman Morgan Hansek: the youngsters have little to say except for Steiner who speaks English with a German accent “Her Hauptmann Captain Repeen was a fine officer and it may not be my place to say this, but the senior Leutnants are not happy that the Admiral blocked their transfer to accompany him.”

Sailing Master Sean O'Hara

Has little to say except’ “Set course sir and I’ll get you there”

Purser Mervyn Merrick “Sir, Captain Repeen often paid for extra rations, tobacco, and fresh fruit for the crew out of his own pocket. Do plan to this as well sir?”

Surgeon Joshua Rucker Definitely suffering from hangover. “The crew’s health is quite good sir”

Royal Marine Lieutenant Phillip Wilson “Sir the Royal Marines aboard the ‘Willow’ have been poorly treated, and their authority was not upheld Lieutenant Watson of the ‘Buffonia’ is the senior Royal Marine Officer of the Squadron, he has ignored my protests. I feel Segeant Morgan has a valid complaint.”

Royal Marine Sergeant G.J. Baker was ashore with the majority of the Marine detachment on practiced forced march.

I'm "Fair but stern" "we will Drill and Drill and Drill Perfection is our

pursuit!" The Cat will be used not only for punishment but also for

motivation! After the meeting with each officer the capt.. will prepare

himself for dinner with Lord Harold He will dress in his best with his prize

Gill Hanger at his side and the story of how he won it on his lips. If the

alert goes up before I go aboard ‘Buffonia’ I will signal that we are ready to

sail. ‘Watcher’ will use this mission as a work up. I will go to the Quarter

deck, order hands to Stations.

Aboard the ‘Buffonia’ at dinner. Rear Admiral Medicus looks at Captain Stark and says ‘Watcher’ will escort the convoy. It will give a good chance to shake her down. By the way how’s our young Bavarian prince doing?”
