Sails of Glory: Embuscade 1798/ Le Succes 1801 Ship Pack
Product number:
ARESGN103A
Manufacturer:
Ares Games
The Amazon Class frigates of 1773 were fifth-rate, 32-guns British ships with a main battery of 12-pounder guns, plus 18-pound carronades and 6-pounder guns in the quarterdeck and in the forecastle. The designed crew was of 220. It comprised 18 ships; the Amazon, Ambuscade and Thetis were launched in 1773; the second batch - Cleopatra, Amphion, Orpheus, Juno, Success, Iphigenia, Andromache, Syren, Iris, Greyhound, Meleager, Castor, Solebay, Terpsichore and Blonde - were launched in 1779 to 1787.
The HMS Ambuscade 1773 was built at Depford and served in the Royal Navy during the American Revolution. It was captured by the French corvette Bayonnaise in December 1798, when blockading Rochefort, and then brought into French service as Embuscade. The frigate was recaptured by the British in May 1803.
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.

Nice Addition to the Sails of Glory Fleet.
Sails of Glory is an excellent system for reproducing naval combat in the Age of Sail. It is derived from the equally brilliant Wings of Glory, which portrays aerial combat in both WWI and WWII. The use of illustrated cards to govern movement -- in both SoG and WoG -- makes moving much easier than in other Age of Sail games. The model of the Embuscade -- a 32-gun frigate is representative of all the ship models available for the game -- well-made, nicely painted, ready-to-use right our of the box. For me, the expense is well worth it not to have to exercise my clumsy painting skills.
