Thread: Merchants & Marauders:: Rules:: Nations at War and defending against Opposing Naval Vessels

by aka Tankboy

So I am refreshing my memory on the rules for a teaching game coming up this weekend.

With the Nations at War in effect, and one of the Warring Nations happen to be mine, are the following correct?

1) If I am attacked by an Enemy Nations Man-of-War, I will not receive a bounty if I am able to flee, even if I were to land some hits in the opening salvo, Correct?

2) I only receive a bounty if, after the Enemy Man-of-War attacks me, I either sink him or, I win crew combat (even if the Man-of-War instigated the boarding), Correct?

I know I receive a bounty if I instigated the attack, plus another bounty if I sink or board and win Crew combat.

Thanks.
