I tried the first version of your solo system, playing Ares' historical scenario "On Equal Terms". I've play-tested three other solo-rulesets quite a bit. I really liked your system. I found it to produce the most unpredictable movement in a good way - the three games played out quite differently, which meant I found it hard to predict how the solo ship might move in given circumstances. And despite being unpredictable, the solo ship generally moved in a sensible way. It was quite a challenge lining up broadsides while not getting hit. One of the games lasted 28 turns! I look forward to following the progress and trying out the new set of rules when I get a chance!
