Hi to all,

When returned from vacation this week I played the july scenario, bit late....

I used for the AI Spanish treasure galleon; the HMS defence model with its stats.

I used my own captains:

Capt. Zeegers; the courageuse model with its stats... No ability
Capt. Huys; the le succes model with its stats.... Reloading captain ability


The pictures will follow this weekend with a proper AAR.

But in short...

After a few turns Capt. Zeegers blocked the movement of the Spanish galleon and the next turn Capt. Huys joined in and the battle was fought in a relentless mêlee ...

With result of capturing the Spanish ship almost intact after a lot of musket fire and was ended when Capt. Huys decided to board the enemy ship.

Both Dutch captains could return to port without injuries.

The tactic of closing in on the enemy and to keep them under constant musket fire seemed to turn out pretty good.
Otherwise at least one of the Dutch frigates would have sunk....

Cheers,

Thijs (Ducky)
