Looks like the French Mediterranean Fleet is out!
Gulp!
Admiral Sir George Monk writes...
London, 1671
A small naval battle off Cork has seen several French and English ships sunk, and many lives lost. Both squadrons fought each other to a standstill. I have to admit, however, the French were left holding the “battlefield”, and will no doubt brag of a great victory.
We really must improve our Naval Designs! Now, I am worried for our Atlantic convoys…
Talking of which, trade is improving everywhere, despite the war. The Exchequer is looking very healthy right now. I pray the King doesn’t waste it all on parties!
Geo.

Oh, and by the way, guys. Anyone taking advantage of the AI against the English will be considered to have declared war on us. Or, if French, to be asking for massive retaliation in kind!

Yeah, I thought it had to be a Veteran Galleon Sqdn. It's not safely back to France yet, my garlic-soaked friend!
As for Naval Supremacy, it's a bit early to tell after one almost-drawn encounter.
I have to admit though, the "Cork convoy" was a bit, how shall I say, "virtual"?
What I mean about "taking advantage over the AI" is that any threats, extortions, etc should be emailed to me directly, rather than letting the AI do my diplomacy. I will do you all the same favour.
But as long as I am at war with you, Henrik, and set my attitude to "hostile" and press Crtl-N at the end of my move, old "Albert" shouldn't get too involved. But damned right, he scares me....
(Shouldn't that be Albert Inefficasse?)
By the way, Chris says he's happy for the scenario to go on hold while I am away - this Thursday til next Thursday. Are you all of the same opinion? If so, I won't chase for a deputy for Sir George.

I figured that out imidietly , but I had a veteran galleon that I needed to dispose off (had he not been a "NONE" unit I would have disbanded him to make more modern ships) and walking into your trap seemed a good idea (I knew it would probably take atleast one ship down whit it  )

Perhaps we should make this a general rule for all players as we have in the Hellas PBEM?

1672 Piter Devries, historian of the court of the Stadholder, will now record another year of our nation's history.
In an effort increase our country's economy, a major trade route has been opened between the English city of Cork, and our great colony in the new world, Marienburg, to exploit the Gold trade of this land.
Otherwise, all is peaceful.
The Court of the United Provinces.

Peaceloving swine!!! 
OK, Holland also agrees to the diplomatic proposal. To tell the truth, as John already knows, there is a bug that is preventing Holland from taking to Britain right now, so we can't talk anyway.
