I didn't mean to complicate things! I meant that smoke would go away pretty fast from the obscuring point of view, at least in game terms.
I also use the smoke markers to keep track of reloading. Sometimes they stay where fired and sometimes they stay on the ship. I haven't decided which I like better yet.
Oh, I prefer to keep the smoke for loading on the base.
I am also looking at getting some half length smoke markers for the front and rear half broadsides, my source is on holiday at the moment so difficult to track him down
I keep mine on the ship Dobbs, and have grey clouds of smoke on the back. Once fired they are turned over to show the ship is reloading in the fog of war. I also have cut a few down so that I can use them for forward or rear fire only shooting, or bow or stern chasers which I use in some games.

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.
