In two games of three ships on three ships I didn't lose a single vessel while they lost everything... Mostly through cowardice. Even when they had the wind guage they lost. Each tried to protect their own vessel, and I was able to destroy them one ship at a time. And I am not that good of a wargamer. The first time it was kind of fun, the second, where they had the advantage, it was annoying. The first they ended up pinned in the windward of an island, the second they relied on their sternchasers, while I was using alternating forward batteries. If they had come about and waited they could have opened with a full broadside from all three ships while I was line astern, then rolled fire on my damaged fleet. Instead they ran away, relying on battle sail and stern plinkers while I was on half sails and catching them up while firing. One of these players was in the Army for two terms... He should have known better.The Auld Grump</blockquote>
