NWOL Fall 2005 Campaign
Naval Operations: Turns 5-14
The British and Dutch fleets sailing from the north reached Gibraltar
on turn
7 with 41 ships. The French/Sardinian fleet, now with a strength
of 73 ships, was still in Cagliari completing repairs. The British
attempted to join with
the Spanish survivors of the Cagliari battle, and also send some ships
north along the Spanish coast, trying to prevent amphibious landings
there. On turn 9, the main British/Dutch fleet, reduced by detachments
to 29 ships, sailed back to Cagliari and found the French/Sardinian
fleet still there. The French/Sardinian fleet came out to give battle,
and the British/Dutch fleet accepted, but fought a more cautious battle
than the previous one. The French/Sardinians won a second victory,
sinking two enemy ships and taking three prizes; most of the
British/Dutch fleet escaped from what was clearly an uneven battle. The
fleeing ships scattered; most ended up in the Central Mediterranean,
while some returned to the southern Spanish coast. The pursuing French
and Sardinians caught four British ships the next turn, taking two more
prizes. The French/Sardinian fleet, seeking to find more remnants of
the enemy, headed towards Barcelona. There they found no warships, but
did encounter an unescorted Russian transport group bringing
reinforcements to the Russian army, then engaged around the city of
Barcelona. They trapped this transport group and sank it, along with
the three Russian infantry brigades it carried. The French and
Sardinians spent the last two turns cruising the Gulf of Lyon, leaving
the Sardinian coast undefended. On turn 13, a second Russian transport
group put a large Russian infantry division ashore near Cagliari, and
on turn 14 this force captured Cagliari without opposition. The British
and
Dutch fleets came up to Cagliari on turn 13 to support the landing, and
six British ships made an ill-advised attempt to destroy the coastal
guns on T14 before the Russian infantry arrived, resulting in the loss
of 4 ships and no damage to the defenses, which were then taken from
the rear by the Russian infantry.
