By the way, how can you say that the French have next to no chance in this scenario. It took me 20 rounds of raking to force the surrender! The only way I could win was to sacrifice my ships! So in effect there is no way to win this scenario as a pirate, because they don't get enough 'points' to win it, with the one option that is available to them (allow ships to be sunk so that the french vessel can be raked repeatedly for 20 rounds).
Yes, it takes a while, so, one key is to not allow the same ship to be fired on over and over. A second key is surrounding him ASAP, once you do, make a pirate maneuver... If you know what I mean...
There are many times I maneuver such that the French cannot move any more, and, I can, meaning, I get all the free rakes I want.
Okay. I want to see you do this.
