[QUOTE="tzor, post: 3033842, member: 12826"] Step one: Know your ship. Have a good deck plan available. You would be surprised at how many areas have partial cover from other areas of the ship. Step two: Know your crew. The guy in the crow's nest is supposed to be looking out for other ships out there, not sneaking guys boarding the deck from the depths below. Unless you are in known waters with fish monsters sneaking on board boats, you won't probably be looking for them. Step thee: Know your environment. The ship is rocking, the wood is creaking, and if the encounter is in the dark (the best time) the ship doesn't have running lights, so there will be a lot of the ship in relative darkness. Partial cover and dakrness are the crew's enemy. And if you want lots of fun, as there probably won't be a large watch at night. Use a small squad to sneak in and spike the doors to the belowdecks shut so that the large force can come en masse while the crew is trying to get the doors open. [/QUOTE]
