"The Valiant Assault of Port Royal"

[OMG Lord Lucifer 37]

[PVP2]

 

Let me tell you a tale, a tale of two brave Frenchmen and their assault into the waters of Port Royal.  These were not your typical, ordinary, or average men, they were men of stature, men of experience, men that longed for PVP.  They sailed from Île-à-Vache, westwards toward Port Royal.  They had heard of a valuable commodity, of the likes of which they craved: glory, from the sinking of Brit scum near their Capital.  As they approached the inlet to Port Royal, they could see a large group of British sailors, and they knew the Brits were no match for them, so they attacked.

 

The battle commenced and sails were unfurled! Quickly diving into the British horde, they showed no fear as they went broadside to broadside against the startled Brits.  "Stop! I can't lose this ship!", they cried.  "We don't have nearly enough ships for an even fight!", shouted another Brit.  But that did not stop the Frenchmen.  Those two brave souls gave them hell, chasing each and every last one of them until the Brits escaped combat.

 

Let the day of March 21, the year of our lord 2016 be remembered for all of time, as the day Britain was no longer a threat.

You sir!

Did you take your medication this morning?

[KuroNyra 140]

How the heck did that happened?!

Did the Brits had something better to do? Or was it planned? Or a joke? Or something?

[Vandarix 57]

This fits so well for this.

Or maybe the French, as they so often do, ran once tagged and in battle, with their tail (or baguette) between their legs, until the British could no longer bother to reach them?

It seems like you are up to many knots in your Trinc, and with all hands set to sailing.

[Quineloe 1,337]

Copper plated, speed trimmed, fir build raceboat trinc doesn't get caught by normal combat ships.

What a surprise. 

And now I understand why you're insisting so strongly on being allowed to gank newbies anywhere at all times: It's what you actually do.

Actually I did not need any evidence to realize it. The general mood ot the posts shew it quite clearly.

 

PS: oh ... I forgot to add a flame against the brits, so (just in order to respect the main rule of the forum) I add here a "generic flame againsts the brits". Now my post is ok, isn't it?

As you can clearly see from the image, 14 Brits fled from 2 French.

[Lord_Smily 6]

What did the brits have?  It shows the two of you in trincs but your post battle results don't show what ships they had.  Did they cutter swarm you or was it a mix of other ships?

This is worthy of a forum posts these days eh...forum taunting strong

I hit the report button. Some should still learn to read. You must not camp at capitols.

By the ranks, doesn't look like noobs.  Most likely (I wasn't there) is that the Brits had carronades equipped and trincs maintained the upwind advantage to keep distance.  It's a solid strategy.

Must not camp at capitols... Like Mortimer or Fort Royal? And how exactly do 2 ships camp a zerg?

You're right, but two people sailing by a capital right before server reset is hardly "camping". Although, the Brits are quite good at Capital camping.

Yes, the Brits are excellent in sightseeing tours, but port battles? That is different story.

The Brits on PvP 1 Perhaps.

[Atreides 806]

I was the ship that wound up in the lead chasing you two out of His Majesty's waters. I drove the Surprise with the copper plating and the chain shots that caused you to pop a repair kit on your sails as you two ran and taunted and ran.

In related news:

In a mocking response to the British "Pickle Night", several French captain's sailed out to harrass shipping near Jamaica.

Official estimates was:

1 Snow (sunk?) (PC)

1 Cerberus (captured)(PC)

4 Escort Cutters (sunk) (AI)

1 heroic basic cutter (captured) (PC)

1 Trader's Brig (captured, 43 Bavarian spices seized)(PC)

1 Privateer (exploded, sunk) (PC)

1 Navy Brig (captured) (PC)

All with no losses.

After much drinking of wine, the French captains were heard joking about enemy captains large ship obsession being a compensation. "...it's all on how you use your Pickle..." *laughter*
