Hello shipmates,
My friend and I had our first game last night using my starter box set. We took a 74 each and at the end of the game all of my damage squares on the Vanguard were filled so I surrendered. My opponent showed superior tactics and moves but it was a lot of fun. We played the basic game and with lots of reference to the instruction manual. We thought that the game was pretty realistic with the dependence on the wind and the ships movement, but as a couple of old WoG players we were a bit mystified with some things. So, please forgive my ignorance but for example:-
In a collision although we understand that there is no damage penalty, can the ships still fire at each other in the turn that the collision occurs in?
If we are fighting with say the right side then every time we fire a broadside we reload during our next ships movement and cannot fire until that side until the next movement. So firing from the right side every second turn, do I have that right?
Although there are two places for movement on our player ship mats we only play this one manoever at a time, ie. we only pick one card per turn, is that right?
