I'm just wondering if it's usual to be outnumbered by about 3:1 and come out on top. Even if you have a fleet of frigates (about three sixth rates, three fifth rates including a flagship, two brigs/sloops and a fourth rate) and the enemy is entirely brigs and sloops.
Took me a good hour to do, as I had to pause and runaway to do things a lot, but as a not very experienced naval commander, I found it epic I've uploaded a replay onto the downloads section so you can judge for yourself, but it had quite a lot going for it- outnumbered, close-range broadsides, raking, ramming, sinking and yes, an exploding ship which took me by surprise.
A look at HMS Archer, the flagship of the fleet
A marine watches the fleet sail into action
The admiral (damn ship moved)
There are some very close shots in this battle.
HMS Rose, the fourth rate, gets nice and close with a sloop. And wrecks it.
It's all too much for some as this ship sinks.
"Captain, there's... there's more!"
Boom! Headshot!
HMS Archer and HMS Rose turning to grapple with the enemy again.
A Marine aboard a sixth rate watches the enemy flounder as the British tear into them again. I had to edit the interface out and retouch the sky, and then decided to do a little crosshatching
And I shall go Softly into the Night Taking my Dreams As will You
