The Lasses won convincingly for the second week in a row. Tonight Amanda, Xi, Rain and Kaz went up against Otho, VT, Rock and Riv. Blue was gunning for VT. The Lasses have taken a 2-0-2 lead over the Lads for the year.
The battle was so hard fought, a cannonball from Otho knocked over my easel destroying any sketches I'd managed to make but VT contributed a few. Click "Read More" below to see sketches. Outnumbered 5 to 4, the Continental Navy won the first round in a nail biter that left the Commodore Rain the last navy ship incapacitated and barely afloat.

The Lads didn't know what hit them as a pink Tsunami swamped them in both rounds. The lasses now have a 1-0-2 lead for the year.
Sorry no sketches tonight as I broke a nail and couldn't hold the pencil. Tonights battle wasn't the normal Navy vs Pirates. Instead it was random fleets consisting of 1 big ship (galleon or frigate) and 2 mediums. The Azure fleet was lead by Xi in a frigate with VT gunning and Kaz, and Şeвαşτίαη KσвαLeίneη sailing consort in medium ships. The Scarlet fleet was lead by Blithe with Blue gunning in round 1 and Amanda gunning in round 2. Steve Decker, and Otho escorted for Blithe in medium ships.
Both rounds were hard fought. Round 1 ended in a technical win for the Azure team when the last three ships were incapped and unable to shoot an enemy ship. Xi's frigate and Şeвαşτίαη were still afloat for Azure as well as Steve for Scarlet. Scarlet came back and won round 2 with Blithe's Grand Galleon the only ship surviving.

It was a hard fought battle with no ship left unscathed but the pirate fleet was victorious in the end. Innocent merchants and fisher folk will hide in port until the Navy can regroup.
