Here is what Johnny (pbass111) has to say while playing the 3vs3 scenario with me. He gave me permission to post his response on his behalf.
Same thing with this one...whoever the designer was should have used 80's. You can even a scenario better with them. French again in this one---not even close. You're totally outgunned. That plus 1 on the hit table will always be there because of the guns---not the morale. Both games are flawed. I can't compare the 2 yet until the turning radius is fixed on the other game.Here is the link to that game:

Game has an important typo: Shrewsbury has a turning ability of 1, not 2, as it states. It won't allow me to zig. That's a bad tactical disadvantage against a larger gunned ship.

2v2: The Shrewbury worked correctly for me. Johnny must have encountered a bug.
In this scenario the French have a 1 table advantage initially. But, the advantage disappears at range 2. And, the British through the crew rating, gain the advantage IF the French guns are reduced to 6 or less. And, if using Basic Rules, the British have the advantage in melee.
For example, see game 504111 using simplified rules, the British close, reduce guns and win.
I never doubted that it is possible for the Eng to win. However, it is unlikely. A few rigging shots should take care of a closer swiveling Eng.
What makes it unbalanced is that the ENG have to close and have to reduce guns. That's two have-tos for the Eng. Where is the have-to for the French?
No problem with Shrewsbury for me. Turns as it should.
