Wooden Ships and Iron Men
Originally uploaded by Eric E Haas

Seven of us gathered together for a game of Wooden Ships and Iron Men. The French fleet (Dave Fair, Scott Fox, Liz Percival, and Eric Haas) was trying to land troop ships in order to fortify a small island possession. The British fleet (Bob Jones, Scott Percival, and Erik Light) was trying to blockade the island and prevent the French from landing their troops.

Despite superiority of numbers on the French side, the British were ultimately victorious, the average crews of the French were no match for the elite crews of the British. Eric’s photos are available here.

After WS&IM, several of us stayed to play other games.
