The begin of my turn 145, I attack PP's 3 caravels with my 4/4 caravel. As expected, it sinks, but takes 2 hitpoints of one of PP's caravels (2/4 now).
My privateer comes near:

It strikes and looses 1 hp, and sinks a 4/4 caravel. My 4/4 galleon comes near:

I strikes, though I do not really expect it to win this battle. Since it is a golden opportunity to sink the possible cavalries in it, I have no choice, do I.
But: It wins! It does redline itself, but promotes to elite after it:

Now it is time for the 3/3 galleon to attack the remaining 2/4 caravel. (It's only now that I realise the northern galleon is out of reach....).
Guess what! I am lucky!

Now, I am the first to admit that loosing only one caravel and sinking three was really lucky. But in a somewhat different roll of the civ-dice, I might have lost 2 ships and sank 2, or lost 3 and sank 1. That would still have been worth it.

Could mr. Wink please confirm there were 9 cavs aboard????
