It's taken me 6 tries before I finally won - I guess I'll just have to accept I'm no Nelson!
I still haven't figured out the best way of approaching this - if I let my ships do their own thing I seemed to lose, if I tried to micromanage them individually I seemed to lose... Still, I've enjoyed each battle, and I guess my fumblings are getting me somewhere - when I finally won, I only lost one ship. I think I did pretty much what Elmar sketched out, but in a far more messy and chaotic way! I did successfully board a ship though, which was nice.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to trying these out for real in the campaign - I don't suppose I'll want to try a 20 v 20 engagement for some time though.
