Solo Rules Test AAR--Blackbeard vs. Black Bart and Jack Sparrow

[Nightmoss]

This was my third solo rules test. I used just the Basic rules with one card planning. No collision damage. The ships are all from the Starter Set. Queen Anne's Revenge is the repaint of the HMS Vanguard. Black Pearl is the HMS Terpsichore and the Royal Fortune is the Courageuse. The encounter lasted 14 turns. Wind is out of the North. Turns 1 through 3 were movement only (see below).

Setup



Turn 1



Turn 2



Turn 3



Turn 4

Turn 4 was first exchange of fire. The Queen Anne's Revenge is taken aback which sets it up for a full broadside on the Royal Fortune. The Royal Fortune also has a full broadside shot on the QAR. Both are at "A" range. The Black Pearl holds fire. Damage on the RF is shown in photo.



Turn 4 Damage on Queen Anne's Revenge



Turn 5

Black Pearl moves in for a "B" range shot, but only has a forward arc broadside. Damage is not particularly good, but the crew loss will have significant impact later in the game.
