Crab & Captain
In the age of galleys, the slightest shift in formation could turn the tide of battle—tell me, Crab, have you ever mapped out the optimal line for a fleet under wind pressure?
I’ve mapped it out in detail, line by line, taking wind angle, hull shape and thrust into account. By keeping each ship’s center of pressure aligned with the wind, the whole line moves as a single, efficient unit. It’s all about precise spacing and torque balance.
Excellent work, Crab. When the wind shifts, a fleet that is aligned as you describe will act like a single living thing, just as the Romans kept their legions tight on the field. Keep rehearsing the timing, and the line will be as disciplined as a well‑trained army.
