[eia] Prussia's opinion on the drawn naval battle

[MALabbett@xxxxxxx]

Gentlemen
 
This is my personal opinion:
 
The British fleet is forced back into Edinburgh harbour. Whilst still  
recovering from the battle, word comes from the countryside that a French corps  is 
marching towards the harbour.
 
The fleet hastily set sail in a desperate attempt to break the blockade but  
don't quite manage it and are caught between land and sea.
 
This is my way of saying that I personally would class the fleet attempting  
to beat the blockade as the attackers, and the blockading fleet are the  
defenders. Either way it is tough on the side deemed to have lost.
 
I think Mark K's interpretation appears (bloacke runners are always  
attackers) seems reasonable
 
Cheers
 
Mark
