The Above Average First of May

[Dobbs]

In the calm while both sides reload, the British van and main body press their attack.



In the rear, Agamemnon works to extract herself from the French line (I have begun to play that if a ship's base doesn't contact the other ship's hull there is no collision. With my thinner bases this isn't too visually jarring.)

At this point no one ship has been damaged to the point of being unable to contribute to the action. Protee has had a tough time of it, as has Jonquil, but both are still able to keep the line. Numerous ships have lost sails or masts but are able to maintain speed nonetheless (speed is an optimistic term - the British are moving faster at around 5 knots).
