Re: {Disarmed} [DucatiST] Re: overheating

 

I got to admit, it was a rarity, thus the big todo over the feat, but gospel. I read all the Ramage, Hornblower, etc series and it was a fascinating period in history. Many of the stories were sparked by true events. I use the term "faction" in referring to these types of books, true events with a ficticious character woven into the events.

Well, I've got to say I stopped believing that story when you got to the French navy beating the English navy!
