Message:Much of warfare is assumed. There are so few cases of ship to ship combat in the era of sail. There are so few cases of castles being sieged or stormed. Most of warfare is a struggle with the elements. Exposure, famine and desertion. Ships would surrender. Commanders would not risk attack. The whole often becomes he's bigger, so he wins.
The few cases of let's truly see have all ended in ties, followed by bankrupt of one or both nations.
When truth and legend disagree, go with the legend.
I have fun being Errol Flynn and Douglas Fairbanks. That's Cutlass to me.
