First game finale

If it weren't for the comical movement cards restricting sailing vessels to crawling barely twice their own length in one turn, Aquilon repaired her masts and was able to race away in only two turns. Vanguard never did recover. She floundered. Aquilon apparently lost because she sailed off the engagement area and was lucky to get away., but Vanguard, sitting dead in the water, won.
