During a couple of short games today Captain Kiwi and I decided to try out a new idea for firing forward and rear arc batteries. We have been debating for some time that independent fire should be possible as it was often done in sections on naval ships. To that end we decided that fore and aft may still fire even if the other one had been used rather than wait for a complete reload of the guns used. Captain Kiwi soon came into action using his forrard battery at half the strength of the full guns. He then turned away and in the next card used his stern guns, also at half strength. Then all were reloaded as normal. The result was rather unexpected as I will show as soon as i get time to load the pictures of today's battle. we are now debating weather when the full gun broadside is an odd number such as five, weather to round up the half battery fire or round it down.
