Ares Games French - Petit Annibal, 1782

Petit Annibal was originally a British ship, HMS Hannibal, built by Adams of Bucklers Hard and launched on 26 December 1779. She was subsequently captured by the French ship Heros off the coast of Sumatra in 1782. She was named Petit Annibal to distinguish her from the eponymous 74-gun Annibal in the same fleet. Admiral Bailli de Suffren took her into his fleet and saw service in his five battles against the British Admiral Sir Edward Hughes in 1782 and 1783. She was decommissioned in 1787 and used as a hulk from 1792. The ship base, ship card and ship's log are printed on two sides; game details for a second ship are printed on the back. This ship pack can also be used to represent the French Portland Class "Leander 1798". This is not a complete game. You must have a Sails of Glory starter set to play. Miniatures are supplied unpainted and some assembly may be required.
