    Having now looked at my book on Anerican ships which arrived the other day it looks as if their Brigs were as powerfully armed as the Sloops, and when Carronades were introduced even moreso. I would think that for the early part of the period I could just use the same movement and firepower as Thorn. What do you guys think about the late war arms with Carronades for the back of the cards?
    I have not yet compared crew sizes. Is there any real difference there?

    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.
