Defeating Pirate Fluyt as GB on turn 1

[andrewt]

Ironanvil1 has the safe way to do it. The faster way to do it is to try to separate the fluyt from the brigs/sloops. Then sink the smaller ships as fast as possible. Then use round shot and try to win the battle normally. Once you win, click on continue battle instead of end battle. Then change to chain shot/grape shot and use them. The fluyt will just be routing at that point on and you can capture it without it fighting back.

You can either board it or just use grape shot enough to reduce their men to such a low amount that they automatically surrender.
