OPTIONAL RULESFIELD OF FIRE

A British innovation by Captain Sir Charles Douglashelped guns fire at as much as a 45 angle. Before

this, the field of fire was more restricted. If thisoptional rule is in use and the scenario is set beforethe Battle of Saintes (912 April 1782), when firinga forward or a rear broadside, the main mast of thetarget must be within the firing arc. Although otherparts of the ship may be within the field of fire, if themain mast is not, the ship cannot be targeted.
