Spare some love for Collingwood. Legit brilliant commander in his own right. First into battle on Royal Sovereign. Took charge after Nelson got sniped by the French lad using bot hax.

Hated flogging. Loved by his men. Walked his dog and planted acorns for fun. #TrafalgarDay2021 Cuthbert Collingwood in full uniform looking contemplative.
It was 100% Nelson's plan behind Trafalgar, but he couldn't have pulled it off without Collingwood.

His plan was to break with existing strategy and attack in TWO columns, splitting the enemy line.

In gaming terms, that meant he needed TWO tanks out front. Not one.
TWO ships would have to draw all the fire from the enemy ships around them on the way in.

TWO commanders were going to have hold their nerve, lead those lines and punch through:

Nelson led the first in Victory.

He trusted Collingwood with the other in Royal Sovereign. Battle diagram for trafalgar showing two columns smashing in
