Awful, awful naval battles......

I have also made the mistake of taking on on a Fluyt with a Brig and getting my arse handed to me.

Mind you I realised I was in trouble right from the start. This so called Fluyt, had 42 guns on two guns decks and was manned by pirates. It actually looked like a 3rd Rate not a merchantman, and I sure as hell was not planning to try and board it.

I've actually fought against pirates in the service of Morrocco during my Ottoman camapign and their melee ability is amazing.
