To save time, what, if any, are the changes? My casual perusal did not notice any, except for a cleaner presentation. Nice job.
Billy Boy, are you indeed a Hippie, Hippie

I was born too late to be a hippy. Not that I didn't try.
It's mostly the same stuff with everything from the board game rules that's not in the online version removed (boarding parties, wind change, etc.) I cleaned up the language so it doesn't read like board game rules since the online version handles a lot automatically (firing, damage, movement allowance, etc.), so it wasn't necessary.
Experienced players won't find much that's really new. I tried to clarify common and confusing items using what I know of the game and a lot of help from Nick and Alex. My real goal was to make it easier for newbies, and to more accurately reflect the online game, not just be a WS&IM rules reference.
Nick and Alex: I already found one part that's wrong. Under "Crew Hits" it says a ship will surrender if all the crew is lost.
Thanks again to them for all the help and the chance to give something back to my favorite site. I hope it's useful.
Bill
