Nice introduction to Age of Sail fighting tactics – an under-appreciated aspect IMO. I view it as a "slow motion knife-fight". Despite ships moving very slowly, a player can often find himself in deep trouble before he can even realize how it occurred (kind of like a game of chess). One other comment (FWIW) – a column attack may be profitable against an opposing battle-line of poorly crewed ships, but against a well organized battle-line of well-drilled opponents, there is a good chance that the lead ships of the attacking column will pay a heavy price from raking fire.
