π Cannon-Ships Handbook
π― Goal
Sink the enemy's whole fleet before they sink yours. β The Crown fires first;
π΄ββ οΈ the Pirates answer.
β Your fleet
Five ships hide on your 10Γ10 sea: the Man-o'-War (5), the Frigate (4),
the Brigantine (3), the Sloop (3) and the Jolly Boat (2).
Roll random spreads until you like one, then lock it in.
π₯ A broadside
On your turn, click a square on the enemy sea. π₯ means timber; π means water.
Shots alternate; no second shot for a hit, every broadside counts.
β οΈ Sinking
You never see an enemy ship until every square of it is hit, then it surfaces
in red for all to see. Last fleet afloat rules the waves.
π‘ Hunting tip: every other square still finds any ship of length 2 or more.
