Andrea Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 Hi, as I'm in the process of working more seriously to my Hornblower Hero project ( skills are almost all wrote down...) I'm in dire need of a ship template. As the questionman knows here in Italy vehicles books are nowhere to be seen and I don't feel confident enough to start from the poor guidelines in the basic book. Even in this forum I did not find any basic stats for Age of Sail ship ( but I enjoined a lenghty discussion about time and round during combats that was in some way enlightning). So here I am asking if you have something handy ( a copy and paste) in order to give me a rough idea of the stats involved. By the way I'm relating to a early 1800 Ship of the line with 74 cannons, but anything will do really... Forever obliged. Ciao Andrea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have Hero Designer? Second do you mind Modified rather than official/cannon? Third I cannot Post Offical Hero Designer on the Forum, but I can email them too you.

Andrea Posted March 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: A template for a Napoleonic-era ship of the line If I ever finish the Hornblower Hero project all the praise should be for thequestionman and all the help he gave me for any question i posted here. I don't know Hero Designer ( I can even admit that I don't know very well what is it...but I'll look around in order to learn it). I only asked if there was someone around that created a Ship of the line and could share with me the Stats and Skill and Foci and everything else. So it's ok for the modified cannon. Just that, I don't want to be boring or use the work others did. I definely try to look at the ship posts on the fantasy area. Ciao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheQuestionMan Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Re: A template for a Napoleonic-era ship of the line I only supplied the Information. Your the Hero who decided to do all the work. I will post something Tuesday for Ships of the Line. Respectfully, Aye aye Admiral Andrea QM P.S.: I am on Episode 5 of Horatio Hormblower. I lucked out and found an 8 Volume Set for $60 (Canadian). Currently our Hero is facing a Tribunal and is Charged with Treason, Mutiny, and Conspiracy.
