Several French Émigré Captains did assist the Royal Navy, either serving directly or under Letter of Marque as independent units. That may explain why Jon Vagabond is so nice and cosy under the new Royalist Regime in his later years, or of course he may become a Bonapartist once the Directory comes to an end.
Rob.
The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
It will be something along that lines; although the relationship will be a strained one. It's really by default - the United States won't deal with pirates, Lamontagne - Gabriel's arch-nemesis leads the French in the region and the Spanish might logically demand their gold back. To survive a pirate needs at least one of the big sea-dogs in the ocean on his (or her side).Originally Posted by Bligh
