Message text The guns situation with Damned Sword does appear to be a small bug. According to the rules, the Damned Sword should have lost two guns on the side closest to the Bretagne and one gun on the opposite side. Gun hits are supposed to be applied to the side of the ship nearest to the oncoming fire. If all gun squares are marked off on that side of the ship, they are then marked off on the other side of the ship. Unlike damage for excess rigging hits, which is simply lost, damage for excess gun hits (i.e., once all guns are destroyed) turns into hull hits. (Or at least that is what the original rules say.)
The destruction of the Hateful Shark appears to have gone according to rules. The ship was without firepower, meaning that it will surrender to an adjacent enemy ship that fires a broadside into it. But this surrender will only happen if there is no friendly ship within 10 hexes that is equal or larger in size to the attacking ship. Since the Hateful Shark had a lot of "friends" nearby, it didn't surrender until its hull was entirely destroyed. |
