I'm trying to learn how to play this game so that I can share with my friends the fun of miniatures, but the wind system kinda confuses me. Mainly, it's the direction of the wind blowing. I know that at the beginning of the game you roll two dice and that's where the wind starts blowing, but I fail to understand if the direction of the wind will always blow in that direction. Could someone help me understand this system better? Much thanks in advance.

Hi I have dreadfleet love the game.
Wind gauge changes everytime a player uses their fate card so the left number at the bottom of the card represents wind strength. The number on the right represents how many spaces the wind gauge moves and which way for example wind gauge is at 4,6 you draw a fate catd thats strength (3) and moves 4 spaces clockwise it is now at 5'4 heading.
Hope this helps and which side do you play usually.

I played this only once so far as not many people are too interested in it right now, but I did enjoy playing as the ghost ship. Sorry to say I can't recall the name right now.
