But why should he dash out? It'll bee just like you running away if not.

But it's pretty hard to get into a harbor without going through some guard
ships. And twenty marines in an unfilimiar armed city against
sixty-something marines wouldn't fare well.

What about shore batteries? A small dispersed force will not do much
against an army.

Villages? Isn't this on some island in the pacific?
An army can disperse, too. And 68 versus 20 people is not an even match.

Mercenary Captain J. Blockford's colors are black and red. :)

Not neccisaraly. Frigates are just as speedy as smaller ships, yet pack a
much bigger punch. Don't forget range and strength of weapons. And larger
ships are much harder to sink then little flimsy cutters.
I don't see very many ship-of-the-lines here on Lugnet. :)
This is an interresting little debate. Keep it up, as long as it stays civil.
Coming soon... John Blockford's mercenary force
