• Naval battle near Cardiff. 4 remaining French Troop Transports sunk, and one captured using: HMS Minotaur (Ship of the Line), HMS Bulwark (Ship of the Line), HMS Victory (Man-O-War), HMS Goliath (Ship of the Line), HMS Freedom (Man-O-War). The captured ship renamed HMS Cardiff in memory of the fallen sailors.

Before this, I had no idea what was called "mighty" in PBEM terms. Now I do.

Besides, some ships were sunk in the Great Battle of York, and some need repairs.

Ahh Modo of the English I see you wish to carry on this squabble then, so be it!!!

We took just revenge last season on your naval forces and offered you the chance to draw a line under the situation, however you instead sank another Spanish ship, you are not to be trusted!!!!

Onwards to the Prussians and may God give your gunners much accuracy

That name is automatically given to any nation who dares trying to land units on British soil, let alone those who actually manage to accomplish this. You shall pay!!!

[Paddy]

Thank you old salt... But you must know that Wales and Thus Scotland will be free of the pain of your leadership soon enough

my apologises all for the delay...

Sept 1804 to Modo

no attacks from me...

[ChrisiusMaximus]

MODO You are a deceitful yellow bellied COWARD!!!

Spain will never again trust your word for it is worth nothing!!!

You are a Piratical snake who spews forth naught but vile untruths !!!

You attacked and sank vessels of the Spanish Navy again!!!

In a recent private communication you stated quite clearly that there would be no further attacks on Spanish shipping if we remained outside British waters!!

You have once more demonstrated your dishonourable nature by your vile deeds.

There can be no more talk between our peoples, we shall henceforth set every resource of Spain toward the goal of removing your stain upon this world once and for all!!!

In time your people will rejoice as they are freed from your tyranny and raise the Yellow banner of the glorious Spanish kingdom aloft their castles and city halls.


MODO you will Die either on the scaffold or in battle, but mark my words you will be despatched from this world!
