The Treasure Ship

[Capn Duff]

Really nice report and pics, nicely done.

Rules questions, you cant have raking shots unless you use the full broadside, no raking bonus for firing forward or rear sections.
So it would only be 3 chits if you fired the forward section. Yes if with double shot and within half ruler range it would be A and B damage chits.

Second question, the water fills the boxs before you can pump water so it does strike, take it as though the crew are too busy to fight and strike to make sure they can use all hands to stop the ship sinking, it was considered bad form and very ungentlemanly to renage on a striking, although there are recorded instances of this happening. So really up to you if you want a house rule, but damn bad form sirrah

Thanks Chris
Raking Shots - duhh, I didn't see the "line of sight from the central dot", my excuse is the text is too small for my eyes

Striking - your answer makes perfect sense, there will be no ungentlemanly acts on my table or I'll hold the Captain to account.

Thanks for the info.
