Mission: It is the year 1588 and you are the English Navy. Through
information obtained by your spy network, it has been discovered that the
Spanish are planning an Invasion of England. The mighty Invincible Spanish
Armada is setting sail from Lisbon with 130 ships carrying 2,500 land
cannons, 8,000 sailors, and 20,000 soldiers. These ships are slow, but plan
to board and overwhelm the English by shear force. Afterwards, they will
meet up with an invading army of over 30,000 and attempt to overthrow the
Queen and take over England

Because of our spies we have been able to enlist the help of the Dutch and
privateers. We now have a total of 233 ships carrying 2,000 long range
guns, and 14,000 sailors. Despite our superior numbers, we are still at a
disadvantage because of the size and power of the Spanish. You and your
staff must find a way to save our great country. If we lose, we will return to a
Catholic nation under Spanish rule.

Using the map, determine how you will move your fleet and fight this battle.
Remember, time is critical, if the Spanish reach London uncontested, they
will win. You have 5 minutes!
