    Oh come on, are you going to mod me down for not trying to be funny? Or should you do the reverse? This is certainly insightful, interesting, and funny, and is not intended as flamebaiting or trolling.

    I wonder if anybody's tried RC sailing ship combat. It would be more realistic as sailing ships often battled at point blank range. Even a one-against-one battle in a smallish pond could be quite intense, the winning captain would need a lot of skill to make best use of the wind to manover into the best firing position for the killing shot.
