The "help a friend" rule is a total crap!
I dismasted all ships in my opponent fleet... and I will still loose becouse each "doomed" ship is now "cheering" the nearest one... and nobody surrender!
"Unbelievable... two flying people!!!"
"no... I'm not flying... my friend holds me!"
"but... who holds him???"
"me, of course!"
same with me in a few games... but it's your fault 
I learnt from YOU to aim at the rigging
