another minor thing, I miss the years in service in the ship logs,........ there is another file in the download section which list the names and years, even modifications to a ship in the back, but not with within the main Post Captain file.
Due to the lack of room in the main Post Captain rules, the additional information presented on the Bonus Cards could not be included. If we did include this information, that would have increased the number pages (and, since these are full color pages, increased the price).
The Bonus Cards you mentioned are a preview of a possible supplement that is under consideration. This supplement would have the same detail as the Bonus Cards for all the ships from 1st rates down to Unrated brigs of the four nations presented in the game. Obviously, this is a major undertaking (for example, the French alone had 100+ Temeraire class 74s, many with different configurations of armament). At this time, this project is only a possibility; whether we go forward with it or not depends on the response to the game and whether there is a viable market (yes, this is something that we'd have to charge for given the amount of work involved (400+ ship cards at minimum). The tentative target price would be in the $10-$15 range).
