Success!

Hi everyone,

This game is so awsome (im fairly new to this game, and this excellent board):

After having expended all of my torpedoes in two separate convoy attacks and sinking 4 ships (Between a dud, my very bad shooting and the number of hits I needed on these ships, I was out of fishes). I was headed back in the general direction of my base in Penang, not having reached my tonnage goal by 6,000 tons or so. So on the way back to base I stumbled upon two lonely frigates! Here was my last chance to make my limit of 30,000 tons.

Inching in, but still far off, I opened up with my deck gun! (letting the Crew do the shooting, while I fooled with the rudder)

This guy blew up after 20 or 30 rounds (sending 8, 000 tons down to Davey Jones), the second one left her behind. My boat took a good deal of damage (all repairable however) but im sure my hull was crap after that. O well, sucess at last!!

Very sweet pic dude. Say - I'm lost on the tonnage though - 6000 tons from a full torp load, then 8000 tons in a frigate? They're usually like 1200 or so - what was the listing in cap'ns log? Maybe an extra/missing zero?

correct me if im wrong but if you press 'numlock' and 'del' at the same time it just leaves you with the picture and not the dials + player interface

correct ?

That's right, just the Del key, but the Num Lock key needs to be active (lit up on my keyboard)

Congrats are also in order
