St. John Port Battle 15.02.1720

Amazing work, we sailed under the lead of Vice Admiral Andy Eliblo.

We grouped and we left, at start we were very fuzzy and confused of what to do, James Williams gathered the groups, Andy Eliblo invites us and we prepared for combat.
Soon, we moved on, Me (Lockhart) and DeVries from Band of Brothers, were the frontships and designated has line leaders, we moved on towards W, where we realised that the Frog fleet chose the secondary entrance to stand downwind while we stood upwind, we camped at the middle of the map and gave the french to choose the right or left side, ofcourse that we wanted them to choose the left so they would be pinned between the map end and our SoL's.

And so they did, soon the engagement began and we move in a circular position to renew firepower at a faster speed, soon the frogs broke the line and moved left where we picked them up 1 by 1. DeVries and Lockhart, pointed targets has requested by Williams, according to front and middle of the line for all to shoot.

After several were sunk, Offiecier Neo, from Les Enfants du Roy, who was kept in combat by our amazing Vice Admiral Eliblo, was surrounded by 21 remaining ships and /emoted till death. Soon he gave his life and his ship under surrender.

The French were well planned, but outweaponed, they stood has a worthy adverserary but they had several flaws within their tactic and above all in their positioning after the initial upwind.

The French did ok, we did Amazingly well.

The Royal Navy members were, Vice Admiral Eliblo and Lockhart and Cap. Beaufort & Cap Ruiter & Cap Gibbons we all survived once more.
I Apologise to those that I forgot, it was not my intention but sometimes its a little to much to remember while typing.

Excellent battle gentlemen! I wish I had been there. By the way, was Cedric Coste present? If so was he disposed of correctly?

He was second in the French line and was sunk fairly early on im happy to report!
