    No worries Chris. It was simply the fact that the firepower from the two arcs being greater than the sum of the broadside that i was really interested in.
    My long winded way of saying it must have misled you.
    It was either that or the Port talking.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    I always wondered if firing a full broadside, and splitting the total chits randomly between the 2 targets might not be a bad way to go if shooting at 2 targets, or use the rear shooting arc total, split, if neither ship is in the full broadside arc?
