While viewing the readings d'Iberville's fightings tactics really struck me as interesting and different. I think that this is one of the most fascinating guys that we have learned about so far. At the Hudson Bay when he was all alone and against three other war ships I just don't understand how he found the courage to turn around and face all of them. It doesn't make sense to me that the British didn't prevale and win that battle. I do understand that they were caught off guard when the Pelican turned around to attack but it just doesn't add up that somehow d'Iberville would come off as victorious. It said that the English had 124 guns to Iberville's 44. Why would it even cross d'Ibervilles mind that he would have a chance in winning that fight? It just goes to show that you can't ever underestimate or overestimate the enemy.
