What happens

Our privateers have long been an annoyance to the Spanish fleets, but a daring plan hatched recently would make us more than just an annoyance. The Spanish Treasure Fleet is departing from the colonies, carrying a cargo of silver, gold and exotic goods worth more than their weight in either. Our privateers plan to intercept these ships in the early stages of their route. They assure us that the cargo can be captured with little risk, and is unlikely to fail unless someone betrays our plan to the Spanish.
