In game 19568, move 5. HMS London, starting on the starboard tack in attitude A, moves ahead 1, then turns to starboard. She is now close-hauled on the starboard tack in attitude C (in which she has a movement allowance of 1). Having already moved the bow 1 hex this turn, she ought to be done. However, she successfully moves ahead 1 more hex.

Bug? Or am I misinterpreting the rules?


That's a legal move. London had 3 movement points: she moved ahead, turned right (into C) and then ahead again. That's fine. The limit on one hex in attitude C is only while you're in attitude C - previous movement does not count against that. Is that what you're asking? Hope that helps.


OK, makes sense now. You know, a friend and I played this game years ago...hours and hours. And we totally misinterpreted the movement rules (we were in 7th grade, so...).

We played that all previous moves this turn, including pivots, counted. If you turned to a more restrictive wind attitude, you were basically hosed. There was none of this zig zagging stuff.

Oh well. LOL. If only we had known.
