Pirate Attack!

Pirates have you surrounded and are closing in!  Each turn you have two options: sail one league in any direction, or stay where you are and fire your cannons.  Your cannons reach three leagues, they fire on both sides of your ship and will destroy the first pirate within range.  The pirates will chase your mercilessly but with no care for themselves or each other, so with cunning and careful planning you should be able to outwit them. Good luck!
