General

The Curieuse is a merchant ship that's outfitted for combat. The 'Curieuse' Snow is a second version of the Snow series.

History

Brigs are one of the most versatile vessels in naval history, employed as merchant vessels, privateer ships and armed naval vessels. All brigs have two masts, a fore mast and a main mast. Therefore they are not true ships, which have three masts, though they are primarily "ship rigged" meaning "square rigged." Snow brigs have the mizzen sail attached to a small mast behind the main mast. A standard brig (e.g. the 'Lexington' Brig) the mizzen sail is attached directly to the main mast.

Strategy and Use

This Snow Brig is a bit sluggish and suffers from the lack of swivel guns but it is still a solid merchant vessel despite its warship label.

Tactics

Watch the wind and avoid getting caught in irons. Keep your broadside trained on the enemy.

Distinguishing Characteristics
