If both ships are still able to move after the ramming, I would expect the ramming ship to go astern for a turn and the rammed ship to go ahead for a turn. I think that this was in the original notes that I wrote, but not on the draft that I published.<br /><br />Gunnery is rounded up rather than down when firing forward or astern. Again, this was in my original notes but not on the most recent draft.<br /><br />I probably need to include a separate set of notes and examples, and I will try to write them some time during the next week or so.<br /><br />Thanks for raising these questions. They help to improve the rules.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-91305047277482517862012-12-27T10:40:39.566+00:002012-12-27T10:40:39.566+00:00A couple of questions about the 1860-70 set.
(i)...A couple of questions about the 1860-70 set. <br /><br />(i) What happens after a ram? Does the ramming ship stay in the same hex as the one it's rammed? Are there any restrictions on movement in the turn after after a ram?<br /><br />(ii) When gunnery is halved for firing into the bow or stern, is it rounded up or down?<br /><br />Thanks.<br />Kaptain Koboldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17082772546044655044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-13486901347779982892012-12-22T23:24:56.391+00:002012-12-22T23:24:56.391+00:00Kaptain Kobold,
