I am eagerly awaiting the mailman's delivery of my SoG on a whim purchases. To add to my excitement, I have been researching the ships in that Ares has captured for this game and I cant get all the info I wish. Perhaps some enthusiast could help me out. BTW, I also posted these question on BGG but I may not get answers.

1. What is the Point cost of HMS Leander
2. What is the point cost of HMS Adamant
3. What is the point cost of the french ship Neptune

4. I am trying to figure out the ships flags. British have red, white and blue which I read have come to mean warship, merchant ship and government ship. But what was the significance in the Napoleonic wars?

5. For the French ships, I see the French flag, an all white flag and a white flag with a French flag in the corner. What is the significance of this?

Thanks if you know the answers to any of my questions above.
