I have been on the receiving end of a bashing by an AI opponent that kept it's distance and got 2 broadsides in but yes closing and double shot is an advantage. I would say if you are doing it then so should the enemy. If you keep doing it wouldn't the enemy be wary and keep its distance and pound you, then close with an advantage of a full broadside against a reduced one?

Ok Group,

If this is a rule change you want to make I need to hear what others have to say about it.

My preference is to allow both player and AI use what ever makes sense for the game, but Ares rules say:

When playing with Standard or Advanced Rules, the ships not controlled by the player will shoot using the following rules:

They do not choose the type of ammunition
when the guns are loaded. If a broadside shoots
within the red/purple part of the ruler, the
target takes C damage counters. If it shoots at a
longer distance, but within the first half of the
ruler, the target takes B damage counters. If
the distance is longer, but within the ruler, the
target takes A damage counters.

Majority rules or everyone decides for themselves.
