    It occurred to me re-reading this post that the smoke would be moving directly downwind at a speed comparable to the ship's speeds, since the ships are propelled by the wind. Just food for thought.

    That is certainly going to complicate the game even more Dobbs.
    I remember one we played in Wings where the clouds moved as the wind blew them.
    I would need to use a very different system as my plastic smoke markers move along with the base to denote a reloading ship until the procedure is completed. I will need to rethink this and maybe have some portable toy filling to roll away down wind from each ship.

    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.
