Historically, Leander was outrun and outgunned. But she fought valiantly until the end. Captain Thompson received 3 wounds (incl. musket ball in thigh), and Captain Berry found a piece of human skull embedded in his arm. The cut and thrust of the day long battle makes for fascinating reading.

'ave it, Frenchie!

In my playthrough, Captain Thompson's skillful reading of the wind enabled Leander to slip away and carry out her mission. While the French captain (Louis-Jean-Nicolas Lejoille) appeared to blunder about like an amateur midshipman.
