"Strange sail to the north Sir, looks like a Spaniard, quite possibly the Argonauta"
18366
The 2 74's danced around each other each looking for an advantage.
18367
HMS Spartiate dodged around the stern of the Spaniard and when Argonauta turned fired her rear port division guns into her stern.
18368
Broadside to broadside the two 74's fired at each other...only to fall short!
18369
So they danced around each other some more....
18370
until they were broadside to broadside again....only this time they didn't miss!
18371
"Tis only minor damage and a few crewmen from aloft sir!"
18372
"The Spaniard looks worse off though"
18373
Argonauta wasn't finished just yet. Managing to fire a full, though weakened, broadside into HMS Spartiate. Spartiate's reply was with her rear port division but the weight of iron exchanged was the same.
18374
With both ships heading away from each other, Argonauta made good here escape before being totally overwhelmed by HMS Spartiate.
18375
18376
And so finished game 1 of our 3 games at our LFGS. Unfortunately this is where my camera ran out of battery and Richard (Herkybird) finished the other two games taking all the pics.

Cheers for 3 great games Richard. Next time I wont use a super frigate, even though two full broadsides were all zero's fired at you.
