Hi,
the specific rules says:
If all rigging squares are marked off, and no friendly ship of the same or larger class as the firing ship is within ten squares distance, the ship will surrender to the first enemy ship which can rake its hull. This is known as “surrender by immobility.” In this case, the ship is an obstacle to guns.
The firing ship, Sultana, is a 2nd class SOL. The Orion, the nearest friendly ship to Gibraltar, is also a 2nd class SOL.
So it is correct that the Gibraltar is not surrendering.
Hope this helps, Nick. |
