This article will be a combination of playtest and campaign outcome as I go through what I outlined in part 2.
I will be navigating through the paragraphs with the assistance of a D6. Now rather than weigh each decision equally I will initially test to see if we follow the historical path on a roll of 1-5 or deviate from history on a 6. Then I will roll to figure out which direction the squadron sails towards.
Now as this is a playtest so I if I get stuck I may edit part 2 to get around my obstacle. So do not be surprised if there are changes happening.
So onto our little voyage.
Naturally we start at Paragraph 1 and check to see if the fleet is ready for sea. With some good rolling only the Essex is not ready for sea. So its off to sea and Paragraph 2 we go.
So we set sail from New York and seatime goes upto 1. It is time find out what is going on. So it is off Paragraph 6.
Questioning merchants lets us know that the Jamaica convoy has just sailed past, but before we can react a sail is spotted on the horizon. Now feeling aggressive Rodgers sets sail towards the sail and enters hull range and observes a merchant. Hoping for an easy prize, it unfortunately turns out to be a neutral merchant. Back to the business of war, seatime is now 2 and we are off to Paragraph 11.
Realizing that the convoy is not far away, Rodgers set off in pursuit to Paragraph 13.
Sailing across the Atlantic is quiet and uneventful as seatime goes upto 3. At the end of this round sails are sighted on the horizon. It is the Jamaica convoy at Paragraph 9 and your author is caught unawares as this part needs more work.
So stay tuned to Part 4 as your intrepid author attempts to dig himself out of his hole.
