b. Win someone over (Instead of trying to score with a girl, one should try to nobble her.hmmmm. doesn't sound quite right).
c. Get better of by devious means ( Applies to enemy tankers and warships, etc., in SH5 - Don't tell them you're coming).
d. Filch or steal ( Sneak into a British Port and nobble one of the above).
