Last night we hat two SoG games - first one a small line battle with the HMS Victory, HMS Zealous vs. Principe de Asturias & Heroe. We played with nearly all the optional rules, so for example with double shots and first broadsides. Mine was the Spanish side.:salute:
The first clash was huge. So my question is, if we sum up the broadsides/fire correctly.
The Spanish first rate was able to bow rake HMS Zealous at close range with normal ball ammo.
8 B damage counters for the broadside, + 3 for the bow rake (BR) + 3 for the first broadside (FB) = 14 B damages for HMS Zealous.
For each 3 damages I added another damage. The bonus for BR & FB have to be calculated separately with the base damage, right?
HMS Victory fired the first broadside (FB) at close range with double shot at the Spanish first rate.
7 B damage counters & 7 A damage counters = 14 combined damage counters
For each 3 counters we get with the FB another damage counters. So we had another additional 5 damage counters.
But what kind of damage counters to use?
My proposal was to split up the 5 counters in 3 B damage counters & 2 A damage counters. The reason for this decision was, that this was the maximum you can get out of a basic damage of 7 B damage counters.
So HMS Victory dealt out: 10 B damage counters & 9 A damage counters. :shock:
The comrades accepted this, but was it right calculated? :question:
HMS Zealous, encountered with a raking shot decided to fire the front firing arc at the Principe de Asturias with double shot and first broadside (FB), too.
4 B damage counters & 4 A damage counters = 8 combined damage counters
Same conditions again, for each 3 counters we get with the FB another damage counters. So we had another additional 3 damage counters.
Like HMS Victory before, HMS Zealous get 2 B damage counters and 1 A damage counter, for a total of 6 B & 5 A damage counters versus the Spanish first rate.
Heroe's decision was more simple. Not in a perfect position she fired her front arc versus the HMS Victory with normal ball ammo and a first broadside (FB).
4 B damages + 2 additional B counters for the (FB) scratched the HMS Victory a little bit at all. :surrender:
Hope we calculated conform to the rules.
