Controlling ships in naval battles

[Megas Methuselah]

Why not? You can do that in land battles, can you not? I wouldn't imagine naval battles would be any different...

Since ramming and the use of fire ships were both long since out of date by 1700 I doubt we'll see either...but I'm sure we can set other ships on fire in other ways

Quite true but CA has stated and show multiple times that Boarding actions will be a large part of battle. Boarding is pretty much like ramming, just with the side affect of your men going on to beat up the other ship's guys. :)

Yeah, boarding actions should be a blast (throws grenade down into powder magazine )

Your right, my fault for not being clear enough. What I meant to say was being the same nation, for instance have a four player match where two players are for example Russia and the other two Prussia.
