It was a fun game and thanks to Dobbs for hosting. The schooners only hope was to plink away at the larger ship with some concentrated fire before we were riddled with shot holes! My schooner was down to a one chit pull rather quickly and at the end limping home with pumps fully manned. One hull box left!

This is with Dobbs' shot weight rules in play - Our 6 lb guns were -2 damage and the post ship had 9 lb guns which were -1 damage. Still, I think both sides pulled a number of critical hits that affected the outcome - the British set several of the schooners on fire and dealt a nasty mast hit.
