Description

These ships are good all-rounders: dependable sailors, strong enough for battle without sacrificing too much speed.

Medium or “seki” bunes are likely to be the main element of any clan navy, thanks to their size and general “handiness”. They have reasonably strong hulls and carry enough crew to give them the ability to support bigger ships. They also retain enough speed and manoeuvrability to combat the lighter, faster ships. This puts them somewhere between the ataka bune and kobaya in terms of their uses and deployment. Because they are not specialised, medium bunes will not be able to match speeds with lighter ships or the strength of heavy vessels, but they have versatility on their side.

Historically, seki bunes hulls resembled smaller versions of the ataka bunes, with the addition of a pointed bow. They also lacked the ataka’s deck house. Ataka bunes were extremely powerful but their size made them sluggish and unresponsive. The seki bunes were a response to this, and managed to combine speed with strength, making them flexible fleet units for any sea-going general.

Strengths & Weaknesses

• All-round ships, with decent crew size, speed and manouverability.
• Not as much crew as heavy ships so vulnerable to boarding, slower than light ships.
