Default SEALS 3, Pirates 0

Well, that's the end of that. Hopefully, the pirates don't decide to escalate. I can't say that I feel very sorry for them.

I'd love to know what kind of gear the SEAL snipers used. Someone told me that the lifeboat was only about 35m off the fantail of the destroyer. What were the pirates thinking? I wonder how the SEALs would rate that shot: moving platform, moving target, pretty close range.

If you find any more detailed reports or images, please post the links here.

This whole Horn of Africa piracy thing is making me think about a possible Merc campaign...
