    Default Ship log question

    If this has been asked before I missed it but, on the last box of the Frigates ship log, how can you fire a full broadside without forward guns?

    The full broadside is the middle of the three numbers.

    I know where it's at. My question is, on a (0 1 1) the zero being the forward guns, how is a full broadside justified without forward guns?

    A "full broadside" is always justified. What that signifies is the loss of any guns that might be able to traverse further forward

    Well, maybe that's why the full broadside damage value is the same as the rear guns only value...
