"G'day Mi'lady, have you come to see how your new ships are coming along?"
"Yes you little Imp! But I ordered 2 new ships, and some refurbishing of the old one, but this looks
like 5 ships in all. One of which looks very much like my arch-enemy Earl Elgin's black ship!
Do you care to explain?"
"Hmm...ahm...errgh...ahh...well, Mi'lady....we needed money to furnish your new ships so we did accept the Earl's contract to add 1 more and refurbish another, prepaid, in gold and silver, Mi'lady "
"Earl Helgin's ships??" "hmmmarrgh_ahm.....yes...Milady"
"Gawain, you scamp! You and Prince Micheal must have known of this!"
"Well, we will not break a contact but once the ships are finished, dragged down to the water and
handed over, go find that young scamp of a prince and I expect the two of you to go win them
in battle and bring them back or sink them!"
Nice ships!

Now this looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteThose look as if they are going to be great wargame ships! I look forward to seeing how you use them.
All the best,
Bob

Interesting turn of events
ReplyDeleteAh, you just can’t reliable contractors!
ReplyDeleteIf you don't want the contractors working for anyone else, Stryker, buy the business. Short of that "reliable contractors" are those that finish on time and within budget. But yes, ships open up a number of possibilities, not all of which are naval battles. Pillage and kidnapping come immediately to mind, which are always nice with large individually-mounted figures. Looking forward to their use.
