I just stay away from the ones I don't like. The 4:3 is the worst, followed by all the pirate ones.



The first pirate scenario is completely unbalanced, but I find the other two are quite playable as a one-on-one game as long as you stick to Simplified Rules. The pirate admiral has to work harder, but these games can be fast-paced and nail-biting encounters.

Agreed. Games could be marked for the rule set they should be played at. Britannia at Gibraltar, basic rules, the English stands no chance. I tried quiet a few games for both sides. When the French attacks he can take over the English ships without trouble. That option, the English doesn't have. This is a scenario I would label "great" for simplified but "unbalanced" for basic rules.

However, one can overdo it. Let the players figure that one out. I don't play it any more because of the French advantage. It feels like cheating on inexperienced players (when I play French) and stupid against cracks (playing the English). But it's a great scenario nevertheless.
