Description
The Infrastructural fleet's first two salvos were fired off in rapid succession well planned out using the numbers provided by the calculator. It was fired at targets more than six kilometers and for any sort of accuracy at that distance that was needed to get even the one hit. Afterwards there was a slight adjustment and the second shot was fired shortly afterwards after some quick adjustments. This salvo was a bit more successful in that it got two hits. The Dark Elves got off the first salvos of the battle, but Infrastructure's response was far more effective.

After the second cannonade, a new firing policy was put into effect. Aboard the Hunter, new calculations were given out to the gunnery crews. By that time, the Drow had time to respond and adjusted their strategy. They scattered somewhat, moving on different courses, even if they still inevitably converged. It took more time, but more shots hit. The five other Ironclads in the fleet fired at will, the distance became less daunting and the gunners were mostly seasoned veterans. Less of those shots hit, but there was more of them in the air.

Admiral Petrov Miles watched this through his binoculars as the enemy line approached. Ahead of him the Dark Elf fleet continued to close, frequently he saw a column of water going up into the air. Lesser in number, but still comparatively frequent was when a shower of splinters and burning timbers lept from the side of a Drow Ship in a sudden fireball followed by a plume of smoke. A couple of times the damage was comparatively marginal, in a few cases it was quite severe. A couple of damaged ships broke off and sailed away in retreat. They were to be let go, there were bigger fish to fry and firing on retreating foes would only convince to stand and fight, which most of them kept up. Behind him an ensign worked to keep tally of ships hit and destroyed on a chalkboard. So far he was impressed with what the boys were doing and a faint smile crossed his face with every explosion. Partially it was pride his men, but also it was the fact that he still got a kick out of seeing things blow up after three decades.
