		+	All ships wishing to do so may attempt to [[Unfouling and Fouling Ships\|unfoul]] themselves during this phase. To begin the attempt, orders must be given to the crew, after which the entire ship's crew must spend five rounds attempting to free the vessel's rigging from that of another ship. During this time, the crew is occupied with cutting, hauling, clearing spars, loosening lines and separating the vessels enough for normal handling to resume. The attempt is resolved during this phase.

 The '''Naval Sequence of Play''' describes the order in which actions are performed during a naval fight. The movement and adjustment of [[Ship Types|ships]] occurs in normal game [[Combat Round|rounds]], allowing events at sea to be measured by the same time scale used for [[Combat|combat]]. To keep track of orders, movement, missiles, boarding, collisions and damage, a fixed "Sequence of Play" has been included in the system. Each phase of the sequence must be resolved in the order indicated below. This prevents ships from turning, firing, accelerating, drifting or striking one another out of order, while giving the DM a consistent frame for judging what has already occurred and what remains possible in the present round. Descriptions for each phase are linked for further reading.

-The Sequence accounts for the delay between an officer giving an order and the vessel answering that order. A ship is a large, moving body, dependent upon crew labour, wind, steering, sail and momentum.
+The Sequence accounts for the delay between an officer giving an order and the vessel answering that order. A ship is a large, moving body, dependent upon [[Crew Quality|crew]] labour, [[Wind Force|wind]], [[Ship's Attitude|steering]], sail and momentum. The helmsman may begin to answer the tiller at once, but sailors must still haul lines, brace yards, gather or loose sail, shift weight, clear obstructions and respond to commands passed across a noisy deck. For this reason, changes in speed or direction are not treated as instantaneous.
