There had been reasons to fire at the smaller target. For example on convoy escort, if you see a brig attacking the big EIC ship it would be no career booster to ignore that and fight the frigate. Even if you capture it the EIC will make your life very xxxxx.

you mark the point.
But then what is the point of doing a test to shoot a smaller ship? would it not be more fluid to forget this point? does this not risk giving a big advantage to a smaller ship (than its target) attempting a boarding maneuver (knowing that the tests are relatively difficult by example for a merchant ship)?

the important thing is to play in the spirit of the time.

why shoot a small target (harder to hit) than a bigger one?

As this is contrary to the doctrine of the time I will tend to say that if the test is missed shooting does not take place (even on another target) for this phase of movement. from a playful point of view it will also deter excessive testing. But I recognize that the rule is not explicit on this point it will be more of the gentleman agreement

“I think the frigates are on bases about 30mm wide, and 120mm long; the bases are made big enough to protect masts, sails and bowsprit.”

I will make the same
