    I have done it repeatedly with the demo…In line ahead formation, just keep moving and then double the line. I would rather do a turn about but that maneuver I can not find in the demo and have not bothered to do manually as doubling the line usually does enough damage to win the battle…

    Let the ships fire as they bare and don’t bother with selecting each broadside.

    Mick, make sure you group your ships (ctrl+1(or whatever number you want to assign to them)). Then just drive them around with fire at will on (don't click to attack individual ships).

    Then you can move them as a formation to perform that move. Unfortunately raking fire into the bow doesn't do the extra damage it ought to and half the shot seems to miss altogether. In the demo I found maintaining the line formation, keeping the weather gauge and establishing a figure eight pattern is devastating to the French fleet. They can be killed without loss every time.
    and New Zealand.
