Plunder: Which fleet shoots first?

[Most Lee Harmless]

Well, in the second example given (SOL-07), I can confirm no cutter was present in the fleet, so, as I understand it, the attacking cutter should have had the speed edge and got first shot away : but favourable winds were in effect, as was drums and bless (not for beating up innocent cutters, I would add, but some-one else did get a surprise when they also took a poke at that fleet with a bit more than a cutter!) : these voodoo boosts may well have nullified the cutters advantage overall.
