Similar to cannon.

Across the bottom of the screen is a list of your shot, and how many are available in your inventory. Right below the icons for sailing.

Just prior to firing broadsides, you pick the type of cannonball to fire.

You would have to use "Alt" buttons. 1 is fire left broadsides, but alt 1 would be select iron shot.

So, say you wanted to fire Thunder. "Alt 5" to select Thunder, then 1 to fire left broadsides. It stays selected to Thunder until you choose something else, or until you run out of thundershot, then it reverts to ironshot. Each broadside you fire uses the appropriate number of rounds from your inventory. If you pick an ammo that you don't have enough of, it reverts to ironshot.

And to answer someone elses question. I think the rounds should come from the captains inventory, since it is his ship and responsibilty to keep it safe.
