Trying my hand at Scenario writing, keeping the first one simple and only using the stuff in the Lieutenant’s Manual it's just a variant on the scenario in the quick-start with some Fluff. If anyone can give some names for the French ships it would be much appreciated.
SCENARIO: Loyal Opposition against the Shameful Endeavour
Surgeons Log Dr. Hayman Cross, CMT Pelican
Do those Froggy Bustards know no shame, along with the goods they where trying to get passed Tariff the Merchantmen where packed to the Gunwales with Contraband Goods and Labour. The Knackers where malnourished and a good number where starting to comedown with Diseases of the Tropics and Ill Confinement, I have quarantined the sick and those who sheared compartments with them for the good of all.
I can not properly convey my disgust at the French Officers and the Masters of the Merchantmen, transporting the Illegal Indentured Labour in such conditions it is beyond words worthy of my education and standing, the sad thing is those Knackers that do return to their homes after their time in servitude will do so with to us a poultry sum but on their Islands would represent the Wealth of Kings, by returning their freedom we are robbing them of a more commutable life than they would have otherwise known. The only thing the French Officers have to their credit is having the Honour to protect their Nations reputation by asserting that they where freebooting some Illicit Profit wile transferring their Vessels from French Polynesia to Indo-China, a claim the Merchant Masters are supporting.
Our Infirmary and Mess stocks will likely be empty by the time the Prise Crews from Number One and Third Squadrons arrive. I will be glad to be rid of the French and hope the ARN delivers on to them the Justus they deserve when we hand them over to Federal Authorities.
