Departed on a commerce Raid around the Islands. On the 3rd day out spotted a English Lugger and pursued Beat to quarters when closing ., Giving the Lugger's crew a chance to Strike their colors. It was not to be the sailors Hold Fast taking the pounding from or Broadside of our Long barrel 6 Pounders. ( the ship when taken had 9 pounders ,but the admiral allocated them to his 74 Gun Flagship.} Broadside after Broadside went into the lugger then she started to sink I had the crew throw overboard some wooded rafts we carried on deck for the crew We could not stick around to rescue because coming out of a sheltered cove came a English Heavy Cuszair of at least 44 guns so we ran then changed course during the dark night and returned to the Fleet..
Ultimate Admiral - Age of Sail? I loved Akella's AOS2 with the variety of ships and many historical actions small and large, plus the music and the little jack tars running about on deck. Might pick this up one day, it certainly looks good.
This ones Naval Action lots of Eye Candy. This one is a on line game can be disturbing For example, I was doing great till I ran into another player that could sail his ship better then I could so lost a 26 gun to a smaller vessel maybe a 8 or 12 gun. " or less. The AI is good if U even the fight. Say a 26 gun against a 20 gun or 18 gun vs 20 gun Some players use a 74 Gun Ship of the line to fight the 1st Rates..

As we approached our hidden Island Harbor, There was something amiss. An enemy Sloop of War ( 20 Guns) had been firing on the town. We cut along side and the pounding began. His long six pounders made some hits but as we put the Helm over and Luffed sails my ships Long Nines reduced his Timbers to slivers One of the Long 9s actually shot off his bow sprite .The Cpt did not hoist the white flag so we pounded her into a wreck and she went down.
