I just decided what would be a reasonable amount of boxes restored to give her a fighting chance. The other ship which turned out to be British thank goodness could have been any Nationality according to the card draw. I was hoping for an American, but anything other than French, Pirates or Moroccan would have done.

Usually they just hove to, but in the case of Muslim ships, would fight until overcome knowing that they would either be butchered or sold into slavery, so the Med is a bit of a different case. As for the Spanish, I would think that their dignity would make them at least put up a token resistance.
