    The burning affects in the game are awesome, although difficult to appreciate when your Admiral is smouldering.

    Also, 188 guns?

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.

    Ouch.

    But on the bright side, perfect timing, as I'm just about to do the same with Morocco in the first ever .Org ETW PBM (located conveniently in the Throne Room - no, I'm not advertising ). Looks like we'll play it a bit safer.

    We like things to be precise and accurate . Rocks do indeed make good hiding places, but caves ar even better .

    Hehe, classic. Now what was that quote from Rome about how pleasant it is to watch from a shore the misfortunes of another?

    Same happened to me, except another first rate was destroyed along with my admiral's. 2 first rates destroyed by an indiaman.
    My view is that it is deserable to be both loved and feared; but it is difficult to achieve both and, if one of them has to be lacking, it is much safer to be feared than loved. - Niccolo Machiavelli

    Believe it or not it was a Galley that went up like that, one of those pathetic little four gun ships that are only effective when they are sniping you when you don't have the wind. I was very , but then I just had to laugh.

    Yeah that happened to me once in a customs battle. I had a bunch of my ships get stuck because of an enemy ship caught fire and me lead ship didn't want to turn in group formation and it ramed the enemy ship and then the enemy had also another ship close by so 3 ship went down when the burning one exploded. I also had a galley ram another ship and I get somehow it made it explode with full hull on both ships and both ship went down. That was amazing.
