English AAR, for a while at least

[Hard Sarge]

not all battles are big, here is a little one, with 3 Merchants on my side and 2 on the French

[Hard Sarge]

that was short and sweet, the French are missing two Merchants now

and then the 3rd Spanish Fleet shows up, Nelson is going to be busy today

as I said before, you can try and repair your ships in combat, only thing is, you can't repair the crew, or bring back dead guns

[Hard Sarge]

the numbers, again, the numbers are close, but the morale is going to be the killer

[Hard Sarge]

again, short and sweet, well, to be honest, they did pretty good until I was able to close the range, then it went downhill pretty quick

battles over and end of turn comes up, and get some events, oh boy, that is a bad one

so much for my gamble, that one hurts and hurts everyone

[Hard Sarge]

the event page as of the start of the turn, here you see the bonus I gave to my foes (well, guess they are my friends right now)

[Hard Sarge]

more of the event page

hmmm, took 7 ships so far, 6 of them turned in for timber, but I kept a Merchant ! (need to talk to them boys in supply, a Merchant or a SOL, hmmmm, which one would I rather have ????)

still, not going to turn my nose up at a free Merchant, that is money in the bank

[Hard Sarge]

plus looks like France is taking it on the chin, two sea battles and a land battle lost so far

2 more small battles lost for France (a merchant)

and another small battle lost for France

and I win vs the Spanish, and take 3 more ships, and get to keep one

[Hard Sarge]

and some of the events that popped up, a good one for me, and bad one for Turkey and a bad one for me

and the results of the bad one

[Hard Sarge]

the supply screen, I need to keep a eye on this one, I will make lots of money, but I will also be spending it, and got to watch to see what my costs are

[Hard Sarge]

and now, what my Ecc page looks like at the start of turn 2, my Merchants are doing well

[Mus]

When you are talking about keeping ships versus selling them for timber is that a decision you control or is it random?
 

[Hard Sarge]

Random, and most times you will sell them over keeping them, so you will gain a few, but will be for timber

[Hard Sarge]

made a mistake in my movements, so let the AI play out the battle, and WON

then had a little Frigate on Frigate action, taking 3 of the four French Frigates, can't be many of them little buggers left in the south

a Russian Fleet has shown up and is blockageing the Spanish Port, so will dock Nelson and let him repair, he needs it

[Hard Sarge]

the French morale/glory page from the end of the first turn, hurt them some

[Hard Sarge]

and some very bad news, Russia has dropped out of the war, so much for my plans, I was counting on a French drive into Russia, but, I did draw Prussia into the war, they may be sorry for that shortly

as the Ossites are about to cave in also

going to be a sea war for a while now

[Mus]

What are the odds of keeping a captured ship then?
 
Nice AAR Hope you are able to keep it up.

[Hard Sarge]

I am not sure of how the odds are worked out, just know it is random

did you all catch the mistake I just made ?

clicked the end turn and caught it, too late

[moose1999]

Nice ship battles!
What happens if a ship sails out of the battle-area?

Nice ship battles!
What happens if a ship sails out of the battle-area?

You can only do that by using a ladder to get into a doorless chamber in which you'll find an invisible pixel that you must bring all the way to the edge without a dragon killing you!

[Hard Sarge]

you can't sail out (think Gil is on his meds again !)
