(...) Well, no. Dismasting a ship was probably the easiest way - the opposing ship couldn't manuever to make an effective broadside while you can. You don't do that with grapeshot. Further, grapeshot was only really effective from close range, and (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) But that's braodly historically accurate. For most countries' fleets/ships/captains the whole point of shooting at an opposing ship was to disable it, board it and force the crew (or what was left of them) to surrender. For example, for the (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)

(...) I think it is too effective. I'll be giving it a range of 6" and -2 per 6” thereafter. I want cannon fire to be about ship-to-ship combat and not slaughtering the crew while leaving the ship intact. From what I saw, GS is easily the most (...)

(...) Your observations are accurate: bowsprits varied from ship to ship. If Lindsay can't give you a formula for a specific class of ship, I suspect one does not exist. Generally the angle of the bowsprit got shallower as time went on. Sloops (as (...) (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Whether grape is "too effective" or not as currently written is the subject of much discussion in ESPG circles. I don't think there has been any firm conclusion drawn as of yet. (20 years ago, 1-Jun-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)

Yesterday I ran a small pirate game for a couple of my friends. It went pretty good. Each started with a class 2 ship. There were 3 large islands and half a dozen small islands. An imperial base and a neutral base. During the game, each captain (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.pirates, lugnet.gaming, FTX)

Hi Stephen (and everyone): First of all, base pedantry: bowsprits. No N anywhere in it. Second, the substance: Bowsprits varied in length historically, as indeed did the geometries of the bows to which they were attached. In part they were meant to (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

hello everyone, i have a question. how long are the bowsprints on your ships as compared to the length of your respective ship? is there any historical "formula" as to finding the length the bowsprint of a ship should be? i have many pics of ships, (...) (20 years ago, 31-May-04, to lugnet.pirates)

It's a beautiful ship. I'm impressed. Not only is it an actual merchant ship (they tend to be too rare, since most ships are pirate or military), it's very, very pleasing to the eye. Details like the gold decoration on the sterncastle, the doors and (...) (20 years ago, 26-May-04, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
