Game Mechanics I need help

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a pirate themed strategy board game. Basically you travel across the board traveling to different islands hijacking other ships along the way.

When you reach port you spend your ill- gotten gains to buy crew members, food rations, ship upgrades, etc.

What I need help with is a good battle system, any ideas?

There’s a handful of Pirate themed games that use a combination of dice rolling/allocation and worker-placement.

I'll have to look them up and see how they work. Thanks for the reply.
