A few questions!
1) What does -Turret- mean for the ship? Does it only shoot 50% of the firepower or does it take longer to reload?
2) The size of the ship is given in tons! What Tons, Metric, Imperial or US Tons? And does the size of the ship affect the probability of being hit?
Thanks for your help!
Turret means that one of the turrets is damaged. So, effectively you'll lose firepower of 1/t where t is the number of turrets.
ton= long ton
The size of the target does affect the probability of being hit. The details are on page 62 of the manual in the section on Firing Resolution (it's a long section)

But it says nothing about which tower? (Fore, Aft, Port or Starboard)
That doesn't actually made a difference. That's one spot where the game is a bit abstracted. So, it's a reduction in the overall firepower of the ship, and would be applied to the value of fire in any given direction. A bit less accurate than tracking individual turrets, I admit, but all of fire resolution is abstracted.
OK! Thanks then I'll know! Then I don't have to turn the ship to face the enemy in any other way! Understand!
WDS did a good job!! :)
