Turn 4, Part 2The wind is blowing West at a rate of 1.
The first to fire is the Grand Line, dealing crippling damage to the HMS Sabre. (-4 Hull) In retaliation the guns of both the Not My Problem and the HMS Sabre return fire, Not My Problem's striking back with equal strength. (-4 Hull) The HMS Sabre's shots are not so effective however. (-1 Hull)
Meanwhile, the SS Juke limps away from the two vessels surrounding it, in an attempt to escape. It avoids the cannon of the KMS Rittertürnier, who's crew is hurriedly reloading. However the crew of the Audacity are quick enough to fire into the retreating form of the SS Juke, shots smashig through from stern to prow. There were just too many breaches in the hull now, and water was filling the ship fast. As the crew begin to abandon ship they seem to have forgotten about their captain, still locked below decks. (-2 Hull, -2 Crew, SS Juke destroyed)
After some hurried repairs to the sails, The Heron starts to lumber forward, as it's foes cannon are finding their mark. Luckily the S.S. Victory's cannon are reloading. The HMS Industrious are not however. It fires grape shot, some of which must've hit some powder as The Heron suffers Hull and Crew Damage, whilst also being set on fire! (-1 Crew, -3 Hull, On Fire) The Starboard cannon also fire upon the distant Audacity. Most of it's shots miss due to the range, but one flies true, striking below the waterline and finally overwhelming the crew tasked with bailing the ship. In it's moment of glory, the Audacity begins to sink as well. (-1 Hull, Audacity destroyed)
In revenge for their lost comrades, the Heron's cannon return fire, plowing into the HMS Industrious. (-3 Hull)

So, our first casualties of the game. To those still alive: You can move through sinking ships with no penalty, they're just scenery. To those who are now dead: Thank you very much for playing, and if you've got any feedback (positive, negative, what-I'd-do-differently, etc) please let me know.
Looks like playergamer has sucky luck. Atleast he hasn't sunk yet.
