Message text In a number of the new scenarios, some of the Frigates appear to be miss-labelled. My understanding of WS&IM is that MOST frigates in the game are considered 1st Frigates. 1st Frigates move at Full Sail Speed 6 in attitude A, and have larger hull and more guns. 2nd Frigates move at Full Sail Speed 7 in attitude A, have small hulls and fewer guns. At least that is how it should be - small but manueverable vs larger and less so. A couple of the scenarios in question are the "Surprise" scenario and "Shrewsbury Rocks". I have not looked at all the scenarios. For ex, in "Britannia at Gibraltar," the tiny frigate Amphion should be a 2nd Frigate, while all others should be 1st Frigates.
See front cover and page 2 of the Rule Book; ships are classified from biggest hulls and guns to smallest - #1s are the monster SOLs, #2s are SOLs, #3s are frigates (1st frigates) w/ Full Sail Speed 6, only #4s and #5s (Corvettes and Sloops/Brigs/Schooners - alternatively 2nd Frigates) get Full Sail Speed 7. |
