    Last evening, the privateer brig Lacey Anne met the sloop of war HMS Swan off of Love Point on the Chesapeake Bay (you can tell by the brown water).

    Both ships are AI, and once again, the English have the weather gauge.

    At this point, after escaping being entangled, the master of Lacey Anne decided she was too knocked about for commerce raiding and retreated up the Patapsco river to Baltimore, hiding under the guns of Fort McHenry.

    Another very explicit demo Dobbs, with very believable movements.
    Thanks for posting.

    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 tack Saratoga to try and draw Amphion after me.

    My plan pays off and I get in a solid bow rake!

    Instead of finishing her tack, Amphion luffs up then bears off, raking me in the stern in return

    As Saratoga completes her tack back to port, I give Amphion another broadside and decide to head for the open ocean. I gave better than I got.

    Looks as if things could quite easily have gone against you there Dobbs.
    That clearly shows the improvements you have brought to the AI system.
