From publisher blurb:
Gunnery Course for Civilian crews.
Everyone thinks gunners have an easy time, sitting in the galley drinking coffee-substitute. Not so, officers hate paying people to do nothing, so gunners train, maintain equipment and act as cargo handlers in port. The Gunnery course gives and insight into small ship’s weapons and what a gunner does.
Of course, when a hostile approaches, you need to know what the law says before you open fire. The authority to fire is the responsibility of the weapons officer. Weapons officers spend their days worrying that the gunners they manage are going to do something stupid and put them n prison.
As well as the contents of the gunnery course, you get deck plans for the Estafette Armoured Scout. This small ship is tough, fast and cramped. It’s a combat reconnaissance ship, intended to get in close under fire, gather information and return.
