Any Battle Requests?

Not a bad idea, but I think the “Huzzah” campaign already in Salvo does a good job of capturing the intense action between the smaller (and often scratch built) ships of the great lakes battles. However, there is room for a more accurate historical model, so thanks for the suggestion!

I should also mention that the battle generator is not going to be able to produce entire campaigns, just customized battles.

I prefer the small stuff meself - Valcour Island?

But you do a big one how about something involving land batteries. Copenhagen?

Do you have a source for the 'order of battle' for either Valcour Island or Copenhagen? I’m fairly sure I can get the British side for Copenhagen – but anything would help get the ball rolling….

OK – So Valcour Island’s got my interest. And I’m working on a Salvo rendition that I’ll post here. The best data I have now is at:

However – this is still a little sparse – SO…. If anyone has a better order of battle then that would be a big help.
