Blood and Plunder, my fleet review

 I had a fleet review mainly because my current Blood and Plunder campaign going out to sea.  

Currently painting my Bermuda Sloop, and remaining sailors.  This gives me some ideas on how I can develop the games.

One of the key vessels in my campaign will be HMS Resolute, a heavy Frigate, and I made an extension hull that goes between the prow and stern section of my Brig to create a frigate!

HMS Resolute

Fourth Rate Heavy Frigate (40 Guns)

"Old enough to remember the last war—and stubborn enough to fight the next one."

Built over thirty years ago, HMS Resolute has served in almost every corner of the Atlantic. She has escorted treasure fleets, hunted French privateers, weathered hurricanes, and survived more refits than any dockyard clerk can conveniently remember.

Her once-elegant hull now bears patches of timber from three different royal dockyards. Her lower masts are newer than her upper works, and every scar tells a story.

The sailors affectionately call her "Old Ironwood."

She is slower than newer frigates but immensely seaworthy. Her broadside remains formidable, and her crew are among the most experienced in the Caribbean.

Captain Hawke refuses every offer of a replacement command.

"The Resolute and I have grown old together. She leaks only when she disapproves of my decisions."
