Subject: Naval Combat Table for EiA (omitted from General V26#6)

Not sure if this is already available but this is the Naval Combat Chart for the Empires in Arms advanced naval combat module published in General V26#6. Apparently it was omitted from the article!

Meleeing force closes on a 1-4 after each round (modified by Nelson) vs Linear Attack.

Meleeing force closes on a 1-3 after each round (modified by Nelson) vs Linear Defense.

If majority of ships are British, add +1 to combat resolution when using Linear Attack or Melee.

If majority of ships are French add +1 to combat resolution when using Linear Defense.

If having numerical superiority, add +x OR subtract -x depending on ratio stronger/weaker force. Modifiers are 2:1 -> +1, 3-1 -> +2, etc. Maximum adjustment for each side is still +or- 1. (Note: this is a house rule)
