Two ships board each other. They fight until both crews run out of boxes on the same draw.
What happens to the ships? Do they just float away into the sunset?

Cheap prizes. :wink:
I tink it's the same result, like two ships finish off each other the same time.
That is what I thought.
First ship to sail by the next day bags both then Sven.

That sounds the best solution in terms of the game, Rob.
Didnt think that could happen to be honest, no matter who initiated the combat one side draws from the bag before the other and combat stops as soon as the ship loses its last crew meaning the second ship doesnt draw so still has one crew left.
Ill have to go back to the rule book to clarify
I felt that if both sides initiated boarding, each drew according to the men available Chris.
It would have been unfair if one had drawn first getting an advantage.
Rob.
For me I didnt count it as unfair as it is a random pot luck if you draw a sailor or a blank, having more crew gives no advantage except to absorb the loss better. But fair enough if its interpreted that way, as I said Ill have a read up.Quote:

We will have to see if anyone finds a definitive answer. Even if Nottingham won there would not be sufficient men to
provide prize crews for the two French ships. She would have to sink them if help from port did not arrive.
