FINAL OUTCOME CARD - C1

YOU PICKED A VERY DANGEROUS FIGHT.

Your forces greatly outnumber theirs.

But their ships carry powerful cannons.

You may drive them away.

Or you may discover that numbers don't mean much when the enemy can attack from the sea and leave before your army reaches them.

HISTORY REVEAL

Portuguese ships carried powerful naval artillery.

Portugal had a relatively small population and could not simply conquer all of Asia.

Instead, its ships and fortified ports allowed it to use naval power to threaten important trade routes.
