I picked this book up at the Other Partizan and finished it a few days ago. It's a cracking read and full of inspiration for one-off games and mini-campaigns.
It ties in nicely with some of the episodes on the Prime & Load, which is not surprising as the editor is one of the main presenters and contributors tot he podcast. Episodes on Lorient, Cartagena, New York & Long Island 1776 complement this book well as you can see from the chapter list below.
The actions listed are mostly small scale (Walcheren being easily the largest) and would suit table top games. I'd recommend the book if you have a yearning to delve into the world of Redcoats and Matelots. And there's always the podcast:

So far, not dice have been rolled in anger. I need to revisit plans I toyed with a few years ago to get some boats. They're not essential though. Gaming activity has been totally absent since gaming the Action at Puddleby over a month ago. But the table is still set up and I have ideas of re-running this as an AWI engagement. Maybe replace Ye Olde Englande looking buildings with ones more suited to the colonial era and a few more trees. We'll see.
