Here are some photos from the Battle of Santo Domingo 1806 game that I ran on Friday morning at the Texicon convention near Dallas.  Because it was in the first slot on the first day, I did not have a good turnout.  The scenario was designed for 3-6 players, and I only had 2, who were not playing at the same time.  So, I played the French in the scenario and let them play the British.

I used a somewhat stripped-down version of Post Captain, so the players didn't have to worry about re-allocating crew after the initial allocation.  As it turned out, this was OK since the vagaries of the dice meant that there were very few Crew hits.

The scenario is a tough one for the French.  I won't say it's impossible to win, but with Green crews their gunnery is execrable (which wasn't helped any by my crap die rolls).  I think I will replay the scenario at home, and up the French crew to Average to see if that will make a significant difference for later plays.

I've added the photos to this post, but am not sure how they will turn out as I haven't done that here before.  They are also on my Google+ page, with some captions that explain the progress of the battle.

Great pics, thanks for posting.  I am loving this game but need to get to grips with boarding part.

To be honest, I had not planned on doing any boarding. I had to borrow a razor knife and cut the counters apart.

I'm pretty sure we didn't do it completely right but the British player was pleased with what happens when crack marines go against green ones.
