Description

The Temeraire Class ships is the most numerous class of capital ships ever built, with 67 built between 1782 and 1824 for the French navy. These third-rate, 74-guns ships had a designed crew of 700. They were armed with 28 36-Pounder guns in the lower deck, 30 18-Pounder guns in the upperdeck, and 16 8-Pounder guns in the quarterdeck and in the forecastle.

The Commerce de Bordeaux was funded by a "don des vaisseaux" - (fundraising) donation from Bordeaux. She was laid dawn in 1784 and acquired in 1785. Renamed Timoleon in 1794, she took part in the Battle of the Nile under Captain Louis-Leonce Trullet, and was the last fighting French ship of the battle, exploding after three days, on August 2nd.

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 French Ship-of-the-Line "Duguay-Trouin 1788".

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.
