Gunning tutor:
If you have a ship selected, move your cursor above an enemy ship.
The mouse's cursor changes shape (It's a cannonball).
If you click on the enemy ship with the left button of the mouse, your armada heads for that enemy and will fight.
BE CAREFUL, the enemies do not possess many cannons, but have a full crew. That is to say they have a better chance of winning a boarding because you have a small crew, but you have great firepower at your disposal.
ATTENTION: If you click twice on the enemy ship, you give your ship the order to bang into the enemy. Absolutely do not do this...
