Following its crushing victory over the Oenotrians, the British established a
large military presence on Mars. The payroll for these forces was secretly
shipped via a well-armed packet at regular intervals from England. A crime
syndicate learned of the flight time of one of these shipments and resolved to
intercept it.

Set Up
The British player starts seven hexes from one map edge. The pirate
player starts on a map-edge hex somewhere behind the British player.
The pirate player must render the British ship incapable of
maneuver, match vectors and board, failing this, the British player
wins.
