Amazing to see so many people there for the Friday afternoon, over 25 people with more due tomorrow. Great to Welcome Karl our Lend Lease colleague from thr goood old US of A, and honoured to host our very own game designer Andrea from Italy. Will have a full roll call soon but big call out to Alfonso (Portugal), Sven (Germany) Guus (Holland), Dan & Kubash (Czech Republic), Paul (France) and Neil (Geordieland). A real multinational event. Wore the pirate bandana and took my seat at the boaty boy table this afternoon for a spot of sails action. Appointed as Admiral for the day the Royal Navy formed line astern and smashed through the French line. Despite a heavy pounding taken by myself and Steve we broke the line and did some real damage to the French ships, allowing Guus to bring in his 100 gunner and blast Doug out of the water, followed very closly by Reg in Frenchie number 2, that left the three of us to take on ALphonso in the one remaining French Ship. He was valiantly rammed by Steve, although Steve's ship was lost in the ensuing melee - I arrived (abruptly) behind him to off load his tired and wounded crew, whilst Guus moved in and blasted the life out of Alphonso's ship, which became a tidy proze for th Royal Navy to take back to port.
Looking forward to the full on action tomorrow - where I will have a chance to whip my Bristols out... see you after breakfast folks...
