I am playing this game a lot -only as Greek so far- and learning some very preliminary lessons I would like to share here. 1- Frontal and even 'front-angled" ramming attempts from the front have been frequently costly. Many times when my ship is approaching its intended target to ram it, another enemy ship sinks it before it gets there. 2- It has worked better for me to use both wings, ideally having two of my wing groups converging towards an enemy group from different angles of approach -for instance from 7 o'clock and 2 o'clock-, in a way that whatever direction the enemy group takes to face the threat represented by one of my groups, it will always present their backs to my other group. 3- Once this "envelopment" is achieved, my ships facing theirs try to "fix" the front ships by grappling them while my other group proceeds to ram from behind those grappled ships. 4- I prefer to keep my leaders out of harm's way by making them stay on a second line. This is really a great game.
