two of the maps I'm not sure about, but two show the famous "Crescent" or half moon formation the Armada adopted when the English fleet showed up to attack!.!.!.!.!.!.!.running downwind to the east!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.remember these ships didn't sail very well if at all against the wind!.!.!.!.!.Sedonia put the weakest and slowest of his ships in the middle and the more powerful units in the two "horns" on the end!.!.!.!.!.damaged ships could fall back into the center for support, and if the English swarmed any part of the formation!.!.!.!.!.moved to close range!.!.!.!.!.they could be enveloped in turn!.

Howard, Frobisher and Drake, being no dummies, declined to get drawn in close and formed up into 4 equal columns and attacked the edges of the Armada at long range as they sailed past the Isle of Wight!.

Addida: One map might show one of the early actions between the two fleets, where the Spanish thought they had one wing of the English fleet trapped against the coast!. The English ships, being better sailors, just sailed around the edge of the Spanish, no doubt yelling unpleasant things as they went byWww@QuestionHome@Com

The last two might show the fireship attack on the Armada when it anchored of the Flanders coast and its subsequent escape to the north!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
