It was high time to test my new ships (Starter Set) in a first game. Solo scenario, English Fleet anchored behind an island. My two French ships are sent to attack them.
Wind from the right. Basic rules. I ordered the ships to sail straight against the English ships, counting on surprise, but the Royal Navy was not caught "with the pants down". They were waiting for us with their cannons loaded...



First salvos exchanged. I decided to focus on the English SoL...(no smoke markings used yet...)



English SoL hit!



But the response was accurate!



This is the view from the English side.
