On our BSD Unix 4.2 here at BGSU, there is a game called sail. There are no instructions for this game, although I have deduced most of the commands, I think. The problem is that I can't ever seem to win any of the scenarios - or in fact even come close to a victory. My ship strikes her colors whenever I am in naval combat for very long. It seems as if I cannot inflict much damage upon the opposing ships before I surrender. Does someone out there have some suggestions for me?
