What are you talking about man....there are plenty of blue ships on the map that belong to the French.
the French and the Spanish just happen to be on the same side.
History lesson perhaps whites....

there are a combined 31 french and spanish ships, there are 27 british ships, 16 ships are french, 15 spanish. but i think the first time i counted, i must have missed some cuz i only counted like 12 french ships
and yes, apparently i do need a history lesson lol... didn't know the french and spanish teamed up on that one. french history gets overlooked in the states cairns

One question: do you have some sort of plan for additional bonuses?

Some of the bombardment is still unclear because the cannon points between two ships.
Your legend still says attacks and bombards.
Why do you have two attack/bombard lines between two ships? only one is necessary.

Keeping with the small and insignificant if you have space you could put Nelson's famous signal behind the legend.
[q/uote]
Jolly splendid idea, thanks for that.Just another trifling matter, at the top you have the faces of Nelson and Napoleon (I think it is them it is hard to tell at that size), surely you could have the faces of Napoleon and George III or Nelson and his French/Spainish counterpart.
Those are the faces of Nelson and French commander Pierre-Charles Villeneuve...i have yet to put the spanish commander in.Also without knowing what you are doing for bonuses, here is what i think would make a good set:You would have to work out the actual numerical value for each of the bonuses, as im terrible at gameplay mechanics
- British Weather Column
- British Lee Column
- HMS Africa
- French Ships
- Spanish Ships

HMS Africa (frigates) was part of the Weather column, but i'll consider this...good work.

Otherwise, the bonus is impossible to obtain.
Great map, and great work on the legend... really good idea. I love the bottom right, but I think that the left part of the legend is too hard to see. Some of the details are made really clear, and they drown out the others to being hardly visible.
LED ZEPPELINER wrote:what i think might be a cool idea is if you were to make it so some boats can only reainforce each other (not attack) and others can attack another but not reinforce it, just throwing that ou thiere, maybe with like ally boats and enemy boats

Bonuses might be:
British A 13 6 5 2 +7
French A 8 7 5 3 +7
Spanish A 6 2 3 2 +3
British B 14 8 6 3 +9
French B 8 6 7 3 +6
Spanish B 9 5 6 3 +6
What do others think?

Them's some big bonuses.... I agree with Peon, I think some Berlin-style "build your own bonus" action might work nicely for this map. That way the bonuses can be smaller and a bit easier to obtain (and hold).
