American Ship-Sloop Ship Pack - Thorn 1779 - Erweiterung für Sails of Glory - 2 bis 4 Spieler - ab 12 Jahren - bis 45 Minuten
The Swan class was a class of 14-gun ship–sloops (even if in fact they mounted, after 1779, 16 guns). The class was designed for the Royal Navy by the Surveyor of the Navy, John Williams. Twentythree more were ordered between 1773 and 1779; they represented the ‘standard’ ship–sloop design of the British Navy during the American Revolutionary War, during which eleven of them were lost. Surviving vessels went on to serve during the French Revolutionary War and Napoleonic War. Thorn was the former HMS Thorn, a Swan class vessel built at Mistleythorn, and launched February, 17th 1779. HMS Thorn was coppered and pierced for eighteen guns, but mounted only fourteen 6-pounders. She was captured by two American privateers on August, 25th 1779; then, she became an American privateer with a number of successful engagements and prizes to her name, until the British ship Arethusa re-captured her on August, 20th 1782.
The ship base, ship card and ship log are printed on two sides – The game data of a second ship is printed on the back. This ship pack can also be used to represent the American ship–sloop “USS Atalanta 1781”. Designed to be used with the tactical ship-to-ship game system created by Andrea Angiolino and Andrea Mainini, each Sails of Glory® Ship Pack is a ready-to-play model, painted and assembled, 100% compatible with any other Sails of Glory game product. In each pack you will find all you need to play with the ship: a special base with gaming stats, a ship log and a specific deck of maneuver cards. This is not a complete game. You must own a Sails of Glory — Starter Set to play.
