For our weekly stoush last night I elected to use the BH (Bonhomme Richard) against the HMS Swan and the HMS Concorde. I thought that the Concorde would engage the BH while the small Swan used its greater speed and maneuverability to get some bow and stern shots in. After rolling dice I ended up sailing the Swan, Mark the Concorde leaving Doug to sail the BH. We have all played at least 4 games together so I thought we all had an adequate grasp of the rules to make it a fun night. We did use the wind direction optional rule and also our own collision rule where each ship takes one E chit and cannot fire if a collision occurs.

The wind one worked fairly well with at least two changes in wind direction in the game but the collision!!!!! Mark and I collided at least 4 times and that caused a few crew casualties where crew members fell out of the rigging.

All in all a good night that ended when we had played for nearly 2 hours. The Concorde hammered the BH initially but by the end of the game both ships were down to 1 remaining crew box each and my Swan suffered the least damage as it tried to keep out of the main line of fire and do sniping attacks.
