Spain spawns north, so do Brits.

Brits head south and Spain pursues. Brits struggle to form up, Spain forms up on the run. The Brits chuck a left and enter into a cove. Spain charges in. Brit Skirms try to provide cover but just end up getting split by the charge. Half of the Brits in the cove manage to turn around early and come out and linefight with the first half of our line. The back half however are further behind. When they come out they crash with the back of the Spanish line. Spain sinks one and boards one after the other until every Brit is boarded.

There are 2 distinct fights. Half the Spanish fleet is engaged with the Brits in a typical fight, they put a couple of Brits down. The other fight is the boarding action. With superior numbers the Spanish outside the boardings just sink the Brits one by one. The losses break the Brits, as they sound the retreat.
