Just watched some youtube video's about this mission and to my surprise there is only one "merchant" ship where I have to deal with 2. They can barely be destroyed and cannot be boarded because of the 700 man crew!
Also you cannot fight the land missions since the enemy will swarm you.
This missions seems totally ridiculous.
Second run and again the 700 crew from the sinking ships appear and hello kitty me over. Not liking this mission at all. Captured all the ships, lose every single unit on land
