Round 8 was a bloodbath of chaos.
The Pirates “Raised the Black,” sending a ripple of fear into Corvette 3 & 4 and among the crew of the Fluyt.
The Queen Anne hits Corvette 4 for 4 damage but is itself raked in the stern for 2 damage from Sloop 5. Sloop 1 tries in vain to slow itself but slams into Corvette 1 damaging its own bow in the attempt to turn. Its small arms fire goes wide as it is further raked by Corvette 1. Sloop 2 already surrendered and its hull crippled were out of action and the Dutch claimed its two barrels of beer as their own. Sloop 3 puts two more damage on Corvette 4. Michael de Reuter bellows encouraging orders on the Dutch flagship trying to Rally and get his crew back in the fight once they were free of the shoals. Neither of the out-of-action ships sinks at the end of the round.
