Before the rest of the Rejects hoisted their colours and chose which countries ships they wanted to paint up, I had already bought the set squadrons of English and Dutch, from the Mad For War lists. Here. Lee wanted to do another English squadron, so I volunteered to do another Dutch squadron.
I didn't really want a copy of exactly the same ships, so I asked Barry to come up with another squadron?
Which he did!
And in this squadron were these two ships, above we have a captured English 44 gun ship, the Essex.
and another captured English ship, the Leopard, now known by its Dutch spelling, Luipaard.
The Luipaard is s a 50 gunner.
Here's Barry's list for my 2nd Squadron
76 gun flagship from ARD011
44 gun English Prize from ARD012 (English style sails) (Not in the standard squadron pack)
44 gun from ARD012 (Dutch style sails)(Not in the standard squadron pack)
2 x 38 gun Frigate from ARD014 (Not in the standard squadron pack)
3 x 26 gun older hired merchants from ARD25 (Not in the standard squadron pack)
3 x fireships + 3 burning fireship models (pinnaces, fluyts) (Not in the standard squadron pack)
I do have a few more Dutch ships to post, so look out for those in the next post.
