PP vs Stapel; Message from Stapel
 

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????

[lol]

Wink wink, nuts nuts, say no more.

Batle report turn 147:

[eek] You can see who's privateer it is?!?

I think that works the same as with for example captured workers, you can see from whom you captured it, in this case from pp. :)

Oohhh, of course! This was formerly ProPain's caravel. Should've read better. ;)

yeah, and it had most likely 3 cavs on board :) .

This one had cavs on board, no need to hide that as in normal gameplay you would have seen them board from sardica.
