nice one Didz sad thing is the Ai used the same tactic with all its galley navies.

the battle would be so much harder if the AI used its 14 galleys in a line or 2 lines at the moent it can only ever get the first 3-4 ships within firing range and if u disbale the fist ship the rest do not move till that ship is either blown up or routs.

but back on topic i also use at least 5 galleys in my fleets their heavy cannons seem to do more damage and miss less against bigger ships.
