Ok, I finally had some time off and attempted a few solo games. Modified a bit from the rules, but very easy to run. i used most of the advanced & optional rules (damages, crew actions, continuous fire, wind direction changes). I played a total of 4 games (1v1 SOL's) and lost 3 out of the 4 games I played. One of the games I was totally destroyed when the French ship was taken aback 3 moves in a row and just kept slowly backing away using continuous fire and had 2 raking shots in a row. (2 fires onboard, a leak & 2 broken masts!).

It's forcing me to expect the unexpected. It's important to get that 1st salvo off!

I ended up spending most of my actions fighting damage on board!

I'll try to play one with pictures tomorrow! I hope I have better luck.
