[edit] Mission Notes
The new leader of the town's defenses has his first task for you: his agents have reported that a half-wrecked enemy 104-gun ship is undergoing repairs nearby. Sinking this ship before it is seaworthy again would be a severe blow for the enemy.
If you have ever done the mission Guns, Guns, Guns! before this one, then chances are that you will have a strong feeling of déjà vu on entering this mission, because on first glance it looks like an exact copy.
It takes place on the same - very small - map as Guns, Guns, Guns!, the 104-gun ship is in the same position, and also guarded by two escorts (between level 25 and 27 in this case). The only difference is that the enemy SoL is not covered by two forts this time. And if you suspect that there'll be another ambush when you get into the SoL's range, you would be correct in this regard too. Although there are some more differences here: the ambush only consists of four ships (although of higher level), and you won't have to kill them to finish the mission.
This mission can be played in the same way as Guns, Guns, Guns!: wait at your entry point for the two escort ships to come to you and defeat them well away from the SoL's gun range. Then sail north up the eastern part of the map, and once your hull and armor have regenerated, swing around the northern part of the central island to attack the 104-gun ship. At this point, the ambush will appear, but you should have plenty of time to take down the already heavily damaged SoL before they can catch up with you (3-4 broadsides at 400 yards should be enough if you're in a ship that's appropriate for the mission level)
