    It does seem simplistic on the surface but after a while there is quite a bit of skill involved like
    1. When to call re-inforcements,
    2. When to use your pistol.
    3. When to parry & call your men to surround the enemy captain.
    4. When to run & use a bandage.
    OK lots of impatient players will think its naff but i personally think its fun - so there you go! 
     
     
     

    And this has absolutely nothing to do with 90% of the melee missions, a substantial portion of the game and a highly advertised one.

     

    p.s. If you're calling for reinforcements and bandaging yourself in boarding combat you should really learn a bit more about ship combat first...oh, and quit using only cannonballs.

    if ypu are looking for a land based melee mission game Potbs is not your game.

    i will ignor your ps about  calling reinforcements & bandages as it only proves that you are missing some of the key points of swashbuckling.
