I have only just starting using First rates having obtained Victory and L'Orient. This question must have been asked before but I can't find it. Why does the link between the number of guns and broadside chits level off after third rates. So HMS Victory with a 100 guns fires the same initial chits as HMS Impetueux with 74, there must be a rationale for this, if so what is it or have I missed something in the rules.
