New scenario, not from the rulebook.. I just invented it, so we are free to balance it as we wish
US Fleet: 6 Frigates, 4x44 gun, 2x36 gun
Fast and agile
Pack quite a punch up close (4 guns + 4 carr, cracks!)
French Fleet:
5 2ndSOL, 74 guns (all 10/10 guns except one 8/8, everybody with 1/1 carr)
Position advantage (upwind)
More crew
More hull
Slightly more firepower at long range (better rakes especially)
I think this scenario will be even more fun with Advanced Rules (those frigates reach 7 speed vs 5 SOL speed).
Have fun
