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

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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