The Guerrico was hurt, yes... but as soon as she had moved out of the
Royal 
Marines' weapon range range she opened up with her 100mm gun again,
causing 
the Marines to surrender. To say that the Royal Marines "won the fight"
on 
this occasion is similar to saying that Al Gore won the latest
Presidental 
elections in the United States :-/
