Watching his inept Admiral finally crash his flagship onto the large island. Phil then fired into the merchantman administering the coup de grace and also setting it on fire. Having been seemingly abandoned by Almirante Banks the merchantman was stopped by a Tony taking a ram and then boarding. Shots started to be traded but Spanish progress was painfully slow.īack with the Atlantic fleet, Chris behemoth tried to manoeuvre but found that a large ship, inexperienced crew and frantic changes of course was a lethal cocktail. Over on the other side of the table it looked like a small ships war would ensue as a trio of Spanish Brigs emerged from Cadiz harbour to meet their British counterparts. Tony and Phil took damage but headed on towards their main prize, the merchantman. Chris’ flagship ploughed on but with its inexperienced crew found its gunnery less-than effective. Phil, Tony and Malcolm turned to intercept undaunted by the sight of a Spanish 3rd rate heading towards them.
Almirante Banks sailed his flotilla onto the table and instead of heading for the safety of Cadiz harbour veered towards the oncoming British. Little did they know that the British had their covetous eyes on the gold and silver. Once again our intrepid reporter rushed across time and the Mediterranean to meet a small Spanish treasure fleet returning from Montevideo to Cadiz in October 1804.
