Black Seas Ships of the line

 Friday night I hosted a remote game with 5 French Ships of Line against 4 Ships of the Line.  

Captain's Rioux, Hunter, Gregory and Greenwald handled the British while Captain Mclaughlin and I handled the French. 

Will Hunter in HMS Sutherland made his way down the French Line guns blazing hitting and being hit.

Mark's leas ships Redoubtable and Spartiate engaged the Berwick and Queen Charrlotte. 

 

While the l'Orient blasts the Sutherland.

The fight decides into two as Sutherland battles three french ships. While Berwick and Queen Charrlotte battle two French ships. Arofan in HMS Swiftsure moveset to support Sutherland.

Queen Charrlotte boards Spartiate and captures her as Swiftsure joins the battle with the French Line as Sutherland burns and sinks.

The Berwick and Redoubtable batter at each other and then board the battle raged back and with coming down to the last throw with Berwick coming out ahead. Meanwhile Swiftsure is being run down by three French ships.  We call the game two English ships are out of the fight one sunk and another about to be overwhelmed but they have captured two French ships.  It's probably a minor victory for the French.
