Men o' War blockade run scenario

This is a re-run of a scenario designed by Tim in England where the French & Spanish have to escort a fleet of transports into port past a British blockade.
Brits (JIm): 2 squdrons each 1 1st & 2 3rd rates, 1 squadron 3 4th rates, Elite crews.
French (Chris): 2 squadrons each 1 1st & 2 rd rate, Regular crews.  3 transports.
Spanish (Mark): 1 1st & 4 3rd rate Raw crews.

The French are in the middle of the far side of the table with men o' war each side of the transports.
The Spanish are on their elft.
The Brit 4th rates are scattered on patrol with a squadron approaching from each end of the table.
The port is in the middle sof the near table edge.  The wind is accross the table behind the French.

The 2 Brit squadrons are sailing diagonally downwind at maximum speed to try to cut teh French off from port.

The RH Brit squadron got past the Spanish though their rear ship copped damage from long range raking fire before the Spanish turned to follow them.

The lead French ship of their left flank was smashed by point blank, bow raking double shotted broadside by the Brit 1st rate,of the RH squdron, has been boarded & struck it's colours.

The Brits now have a problem as their converging squadrons & their prize get in the way of each other restricting their fire.  The tail ship of theri RH squadrons being pounded by French & Spanish. 

The British are in some confusion as their two main squadrons pass each other, but a brave 4th rate is tying to board the Spanish flagship.

The rear ship of the RH British squadron has struck its colours while the other Brits are still sorting themselves out.  The 4th rate has now boarded & captured the Spanish flagship.  

On the left of pic, badly damaged Brits & their 1st prize are sailing off to the left as 2 ships of their RH squadron have tacked & are returning towards the fight.
On the right, the remaining Spanish have turned away.
In the centre, the Brits LH squadron has finally got into the action with devastating effect sinking 1 French ship & 2 have struck their colours. 
The British ship that had struck its colours was boarded & recaptured.
The fight has now come within range of the guns of the port defences,.  

At this point nightfall curtailed the action. 
It was judged that the heroic Brit 4th rate, now badly damaged, is trapped between the surviving French shisp & the fortress guns & cannot escape (although part of it's crew has sailed off with their prize).  The other British ships are unable to intercept the transports.

The Brits have 3 ships with crtical damage & 1 captured.
The French have had 1 ship sunk & 3 captured.
The Spanish have had rheir flagship captured.
The French have only 2 ships left, but they have done their job protecting the transports as the Brits are occupied taking prizes & the transports are moving into the cover of the port's batteries.

The Allies claim victory as they have acheived their victory condition of getting the trtransports to port.
But the Brits aklso claim victory pointing to the one-sided butcher's bill with their taking of 4 prizes & the sinking of another for the loss ofjust the heroric 4th rate.
