Don't worry Beth!  You're not the only "nobody" on this list! ;-)  My
friends and I have been playing "Strike the Colours" as a Core System
since
we first played using the Fleet Book and it is superb fun to use.  As
you
say, its not often that a ship surrenders, but it makes for an
interesting
game when they do, especially that Superdreadnought or fleet carrier
that
surrenders after the first Colours check.
