Post Captain: A cutting out operation





HMS Lark has used a ruse de Guerre to sneak into the St Malo roads, and as night falls she sends out her boats in a cutting out operation.  The target is HMS Daring, a ship surrendered to the enemy only moths previously.  The Captain of the Lark wishes to redeem the name of the Royal navy.
This game used a mixture of 1:2400 models and 10mm figures for the actual Boarding party.  It was my first experience with this part of the Post Captain rules.
I used the satellite imagery of modern St Malo to build the 3D harbour defences for my sea mat.  Overall, and for once, I was quite pleased with the effect.
