The Leeward Line – Kiss Me Hardy

[carojon]

I played my first game at the Devon Wargames Group for sixteen months, this weekend, with a warm up game of Kiss Me Hardy, for our upcoming ‘Clotted Lard’ meeting in September using the Leeward Line scenario from Warlord Games.

Much fun was had by all and if you would like to know more then just follow the link to the club blog.

I forgot to say how much I enjoyed reading your post. Thank you for taking the time to write it up and share it. 🙂

Your ships do look good on the table. I like the choices of more subdued (weather-beaten, sun-bleached) colours you have used. 🙂

The approach of staging a section of a fleet battle, rather than the whole thing, seems to work rather well for a slow-moving battle like Trafalgar.

Hi Admiral Hawke,

Thank you for your comment much appreciated.

The Leeward Line scenario makes a really good try out for staging something much bigger which is what I have in mind and this scale of models really help to engage the eye which I think will be magnified when you can see 60 plus of them mixed up in melee.

Well that’s the plan and aspiration anyway!

That said, smaller actions lend themselves equally to 1:700th and even a small frigate action can look so much more engaging with these kits.

Thanks again

JJ
