Also, I forgot to include a 'Prince Rupert's Command' special modifier for England that comes with choosing the guy as MarshalSorry for the inconvenience Kip, when you read this please add a 'Prince Rupert's Command' special modifier to your faction with the effect of +1 Command for your faction leader.

Brigantines only carry two cannons?

It should be 10-12 guns on a brigantine.

I think you're thinking of a Brig, not a Brigantine.

Ok I may have confused them, however the difference between the two is that the Brigantine:
and the Brig isis a vessel with two masts, only the forward of which is square rigged.given that a Brigantine costs near twice as much as a sloop, surely it has to have more than two guns? even with a more powerful hull. Barry's description seems to fit more with the Brig than the Brigantine.a sailing vessel with two square-rigged masts.

Brigs, according to ETW and NTW, had 26 guns.

Well, the game started around the 28th-30th of March (30th being when the event thread went up). That was the start of turn 1 - 1642, each turn begins anew on the monday, so Monday 4th of April was the start of Turn 2, so Turn 3 will start next monday (the 11th of April).
Didn't you take income for last monday?
