First Fleet

The first fleet is finally printed and painted.  They are not much use in historical actions, on account of the comically larger than life cannons in the bow.  The fleet will likely fight sailed fleets with broadside guns.  They are designed for use with the Galleys and Galleons rules by Ganesha Games. It has been in a few games and performed well.

 The whole fleet assembled in echelon.
