Today we made a small demo game testing the home brewn ship-to-ship fighting rules for many ships on small tables.
The Situation:
Three small spanish ships are anchored in a bay when an english privateer arrived.
The cotton balls indicates that the guns of the spanish ships are not loaded.
The english privateer is havely beaten by gunfire. During round three I was clearly put out of action drifting around, trying to repair the ship and reorganize the Crew.
Luck changed and the spanish ships weren't able to coordinate their boarding attempts. At the end the spanish galleon and the small ship to the left were captured while the small ship to the right escaped....
