How Did You Beat the Boss Battle

I've read this several times, yet none of my BB experiences reflect this. I've tried it with 2(and no level 40s),3,4, and 5-12 pirates, and get firebrand from the second sets of bridges everytime. So im not sure that the number of pirates and thier notorieties makes that big a difference towards 'success'. Having also beat it with 2, and 5+ (never beat it with the 3 or 4.. fewer attempts).

I've found this to be very effective.

I have seen another approach, which surprised me when it worked.
The guy sailing sailed the ship straight up to the center bridge at the start, we couldnt even shoot the center bridge until we took the others out, then he turned slightly so we could take it out. Not sure why it worked, but we still won.
