Naval Tactics I: Ambush is one of five Naval Tactics combat orders you can equip in your ship's tactics slot. An extended discussion of surprise at sea. One line, underlined and re-underlined by a former captain, cautions that a single well-timed volley is worth more than any number fired in haste. You buy it from the Smugglers of Port Royal Provisioner - Level 3 for 500 Piastre.
