Attack on Old Providence

Using Firelock's Blood and Plunder ruleset, the group is going to recreate the Dutch buccaneer Mansvelt's successful conquest of the two islands: Santa Catalina and Provencia. These two had been settled by Puritans sent by Cromwell several years earlier but had been captured by the Spanish. Now a Dutch captain sailing under the English flag wanted to recapture them!

Here are several views of the upcoming conflict: Santa Catalina on the left with Fuerte Libertad (Eng Fort Warwick) holding five 12lb cannons. Old Providence Town center and right of photo with a Spanish Carrack tied up to the dock.
