Ah, threatening. but more likely just a pose.

Why do you think i chose to have a fleet of small, almost tiny ships? with
perhaps five marines each? not just because i have a shortage of bricks.
My ketch can bash into the ports defenses, while staying out of range.

Out of range of what, exactly? Port Brique has mortars and long guns too.
And if a ketch is bobbing about off the coast lobbing shells at the Port,
it's a relativeling easy matter to dispatch a ship or two to teach it a
lesson ;-)

I can dodge in and out of the islands, hiding in coves that draw perhaps three
feet, while you blunder about.

If you've got vessels that small, what do intend raiding Port Brique for?
You're not going to carry off much in bathtubs with sails! ;-)

twenty, at the most, marines against your Grande Army which has-how many
soldeirs? But, your huge army can just blunder here and there, smashing and
destroying, attemting to get me. where as my light marines can spread out,
skirmishing and slowly wearing your army out.

Those red coats are awfully easy to spot in the jungle....

Oh, and thats a way to keep the people in luege with you. "if you dont follow
us, we chop of your head." Pooh. I can probably get your war-ravaged
civillians to rebel.

The English inciting the French to revolution! Hah!

and, as the cause of my fleet, i will rip, shoot and burn all Tricolors
i find.

For every tricolour you burn, another two will be raised in it's place! Vive
la Port Brique!!

(strange, my national colors are red, white and blue....)
Well, there are only so many colours to choose from (and so many dyes).

Commodore Lord Sir Horatio Hornblock.

'Commodore Lord Sir'? Is that possible? In any case, a 'Commodore Lord Sir'
deserves a decent ship (you know, three masts, lots of cannon, decent
freeboard)! ;-)
