In a nutshell

    Sinking ships: every 2 hits sinks a ship (a corsair sinks on 1 hit), an odd hit on the loser sinks one more, and an odd hit on the winner is ignored. The what if tag: had England won 1 hit to 0, France's galleon would still sink. At 6:24.

    Dragut's raid on Spain's Barbary Coast: Spain has no ships nearby, so it pays its two hits with a random card and a victory point, both to the Ottomans. The piracy VP marker and the face-down card sit beside Dragut's two corsairs, with the tag "England's bonus: 1 of 2". At 10:11.
