Played one of the downloadable scenarios over the weekend.  Great fun!  My only question is why give 8 gun ships only 2 gun boxes?  Why not 3?  This gives me one more die roll to hit with!

Thanks

Enterprise and Flambeau both had 12 guns on the broadside (6 pdrs for Enterprise and 8 pdrs for Flambeau).  So the total per broadside would be 6 which works out to 2 gun boxes per side.

 

As for the case of a 8 gun ship, the total per broadside would be 4 (which works out to 1 box per broadside).  Unfortunately this is a fallout of the rounding method.
