2012: The Franco-Spanish Combined Fleet was thoroughly trounced by the Royal Navy.  LCDR Ian Nesbitt was the winner of the Cannon Ball Award and CDR Kevin Gillam took home the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award.

2013: This year the Franco-Spanish Combined Fleet formed up with their bows downwind, vice the historically correct upwind.  No matter, they were again roundly defeated by the Royal Navy.  Dave Brower was awarded the bag of hardtack, Jeff Landsman was the winner of the Cannon Ball Award and Pusser's Rum, and Robin Babb claimed the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award.

2014: The Franco-Spanish Fleet was granted improved maneuverability on par with their British counterparts, and yet still suffered defeat at the hands of the Royal Navy.  LCDR Rob Sawyer's crew took home both the bag of hardtack and the Cannon Ball Award, while the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award went to Rita DellaVolpe.

2015: The wind was fickle, and drifting derelict ships posed an entanglement threat.  Yet the superior seamanship of the Royal Navy carried the day.  LCDR Rob Sawyer's crew once again repeated their 2014 performance and claimed both the bag of hardtack and the Cannon Ball Award, while the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award went to Monique Zenga.

2016: This year the Lord Nelson himself randomly determined the order of actions.  Two major contests developed; one to the east and one to the west.  The eastern action resolved first, with the Royal Navy victorious.  The Franco-Spanish fought on in the west, but in the end the victory went to Her Majesty's navy.  The bag of hardtack went to CDR Marc "Virus" Fryman, Professor Jeff Landsman claimed the Cannon Ball Award, and the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award went to LCDR Matt Mullins.

2017: The Franco-Spanish battle line broken into three major engagements - West, Center and East.  The French and Spanish dominated in the west, while the British, victorious in the east, wheeled about to beat upwind and engage the remaining French and Spanish at center.  As the sun set on Cape Trafalgar forcing the belligerents to retire, the British were declared the victors with ten ships remaining to the Franco-Spanish five.  The bag of hardtack went to Bill "Lumpy" Lawler, Graham Pellegrino claimed the Cannon Ball Award, and the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award went to CDR Pat Lambert.

2018: With a slightly different order of battle, the Franco-Spanish Combined Fleet started with a numerical advantage of four ships-of-the -line.  The Royal Navy approached in the historical two-column formation with the weather gauge.  The initial southwest wind wheeled around to the east and north, giving the French and Spanish an unexpected advantage.  A general melee ensued in the center, and while the Royal Navy was able to sink or disable more allied ships, in the end one British ship remained on the northern edge of the battle and two to the southwest, with the French and Spanish in control of the center.  A Franco-Spanish victory was declared!  The bag of hardtack went to Stephen Fulkerson, his brother Jim claimed the Cannon Ball Award, and after a three-way tie, a dice roll gave the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award to Bill "Lumpy" Lawler.

2019: Sailing due west, 14 ships of the Franco-Spanish navy encountered a two column formation of 10 Royal Navy ships, the British having the southerly wind at their backs.  The lines quickly merged, with HMS Victory the first casualty.  As fighting raged along the line, the British forces succumbed in the west, while two Royal Navy ships emerged victorious in the east.  After a brief exchange of fire betwixt their own forces, a favorable wind shift allowed the remaining Franco-Spanish ships to overwhelm the remaining Brits.  Victory to the Franco-Spanish Navy!  The bag of hard tack went to Twig LaBranche, the rum and Cannon Ball Award went to CDR Chris Murphy's son Brandon, and from a field of 8 chili pots, Don Thieme was awarded the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award.

2020: Due to COVID-19, the game was played online via Zoom and Google Forms.  The combatants formed two ragged north-south lines; the British to the east and the French to the west.  A northerly wind made for a neutral start.  After 10 rounds (and a few computer bugs), the Royal Navy managed to sink three of French frigates to carry the day.  CDR Mark "Yoda" Yedlowski took the rum and Cannon Ball Award, while Doug Ducharme inherited the bag of hard tack from Twig LaBranche.  Alas, there was no chili cookoff, so Don Thieme retained the Burnt Spoon Award.

2021: This year the opposing fleets meet in a novel, non-historical scenario.  Each side was free to deploy their fleets as they saw fit.  To the west were 14 ships of the Royal Navy; to the east, 16 ships of the Franco-Spanish Navy.  An initial southerly wind provided neither side a clear advantage.  As the two fleets slowly angled toward one another, the wind began to shift to the west, providing the British with the weather guage.  As battle lines continue to close, the Royal Navy divided the fleet to form pincers to envelope the Franco-Spanish formation. The British were able to sink several enemy ships before the Franco-Spanish could answer.  In the general melee that followed, the Royal Navy emerged victorious!  CDR Tom Pham had the dubious honor of winning the bag of hard tack; the rum and Cannon Ball Award went to LCDR "Lyle McStyle" McKnight, and out of 7 pots, Dave "Bart" Sampson was awarded the Sea Cook's Burnt Spoon Award.
