Ships of the Desert
Kia Ora,
Two new kiwi players- however we are in Riyadh! May well set up a school club (no depiction of people in the models so culturally OK). However since learning 'from the box' we may have some really basic questions i.e. After a collision do the ships keep going if not grappled! Anyway- back to the Lions match.
Hi Peter, welcome to you.
Yes if after a collision the ships are not either grappled or fouled you carry out the planned move as normal.
If you are fouled( friendly ships) or grappled and/or fouled ( enemy ships) the planned move is discarded and you stay in situ
Welcome to Anchorage Peter.
Good to have you alongside Peter, grappled or fouled makes no difference.
Just drop into the wardroom for a drop of Port and a chinwag.

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.
Welcome to the Anchorage, Peter. You will find that the people here are very friendly and helpful, so do not be afraid to ask any questions. Also there is much to help you enjoy the game on this site.
If two ships have collided or are boarding does musketry and artillery continue or are the men/women fighting hand to hand?
There is nothing in the rules to say otherwise Peter. Certainly historically fire would continue from the Fighting tops, and usually from the lower gun deck. Obviously the Upper deck would cause as much damage to boarders as defenders. i usually half my remaining fire power during boarding to account for this.
