Broadside Cove

Pirates have found the anchorage at Broadside Cove. You command the Kestrel, a Dutch fluyt, at dusk, and it falls to you to meet them at the mouth of the cove. Lay your broadsides Turn side-on to a ship, tap the water by her hull to lay the guns, then press Fire. A ring on the water marks your aim and a dotted arc traces the shot's path. The ring turns red when the guns cannot bear and grey while they reload. Port and starboard guns reload separately, so bring the loaded side round before you fire again. Round shot and chain shot Round shot holes hulls. Chain shot, two half-balls joined by a length of chain, reaches 480 metres and tears rigging. A ship with torn sails slows down, which is how you catch one that is running. Chain shot joins your guns in The Pay Chest. From then on the shot button, marked Round or Chain, switches between them.
