Anniversary today (lunar calendar) of the Battle of Sekigahara (1600). I try to avoid that battle as I want to stick to the Sengoku Jidai (😉). But it keeps dragging me back Michael Corleone style to making blog posts like this:

The Americans call off the action, and head for home - the schooners having sunk one of the four bateaux (one ton of supplies lost for the British). A slight win for the Continentals, but their shooting dice let them down when closing on the bateaux #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson

The USS Lady of the Lake opens fire on the bateaux , but misses. The USS Madison moves away from the HMS Earl of Moira and reloads. New page for the mapping 🖊️ #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson

The USS Lady of the Lake opens fire with her single gun, a bow-chaser, on the bateaux in an attempt to slow or stop them. Meanwhile USS Madison twists and turns to place Earl of Moira in its firing arcs. #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes #TheFullNelson #AnalogueMaps

Back on the #GreatLakes in 1813, with the Continental Navy trying to capture a group of Canadian bateux carrying supplies to Kingston. But the weather is unsettled. How will the American schooners fare? #SpreadTheLard #TheFullNelson

And while I’m in review-mode 🤪, I also bought a hard copy of “Midnight of the Century” by @byodinsbeardrpg.com . The hard copy is really nicely printed, with some terrific ideas for everyone remembering #TheXFiles and #Millennium

I’m not normally one to cheerlead for a product… but I bought a sub to Tabletop Gaming a few months ago. I really like it - great variety of articles, super reviews and a really fun package #TabletopGaming 👍

A terrible movement set of dice… allows the USS Conquest’s 3 guns to fire on HMS Royal George, inflicting a critical leadership result 🫣😂🇺🇸 #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes1812

The USS Conquest tacks into the wind, looses off a broadside with her three guns, and tries and avoid being hit hard by the Royal George. The American Schooners are fun but fragile 😬😮 #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes1812

The tiny USS Conquest (with, checks notes, 3 guns) manages to stern rake HMS Royal George, while the USS Scourge repels the Royal George’s boarders 🇺🇸😮 #SpreadTheLard #GreatLakes1812
