Hey guys,

My first post here }:) I've been lurking until my copy of Empire came through, which it did do a week ago, so I've been busy up until now!

I've noticed alot of people seem to be having problems with naval battles, and as much as people try to explain in words what to do with their ships, it's very difficult to accurately display it.

So... How about this?

See image below - As I can't post images on other sites till I've got one post.

This is my standard naval tactic in an 8v8 ship battle, although it's easily adaptable to more, less should probably fight in a single line of battle.

You'll notice I've added in a circle of green ships there, that's the key that other people can use if they want to show their own naval tactics on here. Obviously this isn't laid in stone - The best laid plans of mice and men, and all that, but I hope it gives some people an impression of how to fight their naval battles, and if other people post their initial tactics too, maybe I can learn something!
