LOL how does that scenario even seem remotly fair? Were the wrong ships entered?? Just curious....seems more than impossible to win. The player with only 2 ships (which are puny)...starts Upwind!




NEVERMIND! I think there might be a bug in the PREVIEW scenario option. Check the ships on the french side.


If you get encircled, you are dead, the tricks here is:
for the navy, escape in the right way
for the pirates, encircled as quick as possible.

Really challenging for the pirates commander to position his/her ships in the right structure.

P.


This is true up to a point. I am currently in one of these scenarios, and have just completed the other, both of which I commanded the pirate fleet. The trouble with this scenario is that the pirate player can only afford to lose 7 of the 12 ships before the game is won by the French, even if the pirates succeed in sinking the French fleet at the games end. It is unlikely that the pirates can win even by outmaneuvering the French based purely on the number of guns the French can bring to bear each time.

There must be a better way of scoring games, dependant on the number of players and how many ships they command.
