Engagement off Cape Ann, Massachusetts – April 3, 1814 between USS CONSTITUTION versus the British Frigates JUNON and TENEDOS

 

Rules: Post Captain Models: War Artisan 1:900

 

This is a scenario recommended to me by Blutarski (over at TMP)

 

Background
At around 7am on April 3rd 1814 and only some forty miles ENE of Cape Ann, the American 44-gun frigate Constitution, homeward bound after a lengthy West Indian cruise, discovered the British frigates Junon and Tenedos approaching on her starboard bow about eight miles to windward and threatening to cut her off from her destination of Marblehead. With his ship worn from six months at sea and laden with prize cargo, Captain Charles Stewart was not anxious to risk an engagement against such odds. In the historical event, Captain Stewart was able to take advantage of the very misty weather to slip by his opponents and reach safety. 

This scenario assumes that the British were able to force an action…

Thanks David, an excellent AAR, I have recently purchased a copy of Post Captain and think they are one of the best sets of rules I have come across for AOS games. Your report helps with some of the game play mechanics, please post more reports like this.
