After playing with Indefatigable I note that even if the firepower of the ship may be about ok it might be too manoeuvrable and quick. It might be that it was too big a difference to the slowest ship in the game, but it's a BIG difference. I'm very curious of the deck for the USS Constitution as I think that will be a better match.
The sailing problems of the first rate made a world of a difference. I had to back track the first try with the first rate as it came in to the wind and had to do a red manoeuvre leading to heading straight for the shore. That ment I had to turn hard into the wind and use a red card to turn back out again without hitting the coastline. After that I moved the ship's starting position a little forward to be able to clear the coast better and restarted.
The french captain got injured (4) on the last but one crew damage taken.
The Castor in the background was used for the battery.
