Unless I was mistaken, Bucentaure was moving into the wind, not with it. Yes, he could pivot, then move 1 upwind, but he should not be able to make a second turn as his upwind turn would have been completed, leaving himself open to rakes. Maybe just too much Holiday Cheer on my part.... Im the advanced game for WS&IM, under full sails, this would have been a legal move.
Hi Johnny. Like you, I thought this was illegal, but we were mistaken. I dug around, and according to the rules, a ship has its full movement allowance available, even if it turns to attitude C. A SOL can only move one hex forward in C, but it still has that third point to pivot (if it started the turn in A). I thought once you turned into C, you had only one point left period. Live and learn, eh?
And I quote: 12. The movement allowance for each attitude to wind also limits the number of hexes a ship may move while in that particular attitude. Example: A ship with battle sail factor of 4 starting in attitude A has a movement allowance of 4. If it turns to attitude C, it may only move one hex in that direction as the movement allowance for this attitude is 1.
It may turn back to attitude A after moving one hex in C and finish its move in A Attitude.
