Connor ordering a Broadside from the Cannons

The broadside is your basic attack with the Aquila. This has the cannons on either the Starboard or port side discharge at their target.

The broadside covers a large area, shown in white, on the water. The range remains the same regardless of the shot loaded. It is the highest damage ranged attack the Aquila has.

The damage can be increased by getting the Extra Cannon upgrade for the ship. This will ensure anything below a Frigate will be sunk if caught in the blast.
