Skyme and Hawkins are linked too, so they work well together, though they’re pricey.

Due to how the linking rules wok, the Spanish main version of Skyme will only link to the Spanish main version of Jack Hawkins, since his link text specifies ‘Captain Jack Hawkins’ and thee are no other ‘Captain Jack Hawkins’, just Jack Hawkins.

However, you m…[Read more]

I really like the Talindurum, cool pairing of abilities.

Raidamos is good as well, I love seeing the Eternal ability. 😀 I’m not positive, but I think he’s made an appearance in SS.

Batreans is interesting. There isn’t a bombardier like he, even among customs. I’d love to see her used in a game, big or small.

some dude that would steal all of a ship’s gold upon a successful boarding action

That’s my monkey Skyme!

Skyme and Hawkins are linked too, so they work well together, though they’re pricey. Reverse Captain used to be my favorite ability until I realized it didn’t work with normal Captain.

I also have a copy of Le Bon Marin on the way 🙂

Looking to match a Marine-focused French fleet vs a Corsair fleet soon. Really hoping I get something that lets my Corsairs attack better.

Talindurum (“Talon-doo-rum”)
Type: Ship
Faction Affiliation: Barbary Corsair
Rarity: C
Point Value: 11
Number of Masts: 2
Cargo Space: 3
Base Move: S+S
Cannons: 2L-2L
Ability: Galley. Ghost Ship. You may double the range of this ship’s cannons each turn, but you must roll a 6 to hit.

Flavor text: An old haunt of Raidamos, the Talindurum is a true…[Read more]

Hey guys, here’s my battle report from the beginner’s game I mentioned 2 days ago. I unfortunately don’t remember the exact crew list of each ship except for mine. The points limit was 40, mixed fleets were allowed, and crew of any nationality were allowed on any ship for simplicity’s sake and to account for small collections.

I was using my…[Read more]

Just acquired a couple French pieces I need for a fleet I’m planning out. I got Paradis de la Mer, Libellule, Le Soleil Royal, and I’ll be getting the Bon Marin soon.

I have big plans for a couple fleets, including the Spanish one I posted a couple days ago. I’m planning an English one, another French fleet, a couple Barbary ones, and a pirate…[Read more]

I’m not too sure about being allowed to repair at sea and also being allowed to move. There are too many ways that it could be abused, from a simple move and shoot after repairing to using an S boarding action, or even repairing, shooting a smokepot, and moving into the fog bank for invulnerability.

I don’t want to create an OP ship combo but…[Read more]

Hmm, I think the factions were more like this:

Spain: gold running

England: battle

France: balanced

Pirates: balanced

Corsairs: gold running

Were certain factions planned to have a certain style? Obviously the Corsairs were designed as a gold running faction and the Mercenaries were entirely battle focused, but I always felt like in the initial Spanish Main pack, the pirates were gold-focused, the Spanish were balanced, and the English were battle-focused. Then again this might just be…[Read more]

I would rather the shipwright make repairing a free action at sea, but if you use its ability it reduces ship speed to S and/or raises the rank of the guns for your turn. Crews can multitask!

I don’t think the fix at sea makes much sense either. I would rather the shipwright give his ship more utility without sacrificing flexibility. Right now, you can only repair at the cost of an entire turn, which if you need the repair in the first place, might be pretty risky because of the enemy that’s circling.

I would rather the shipwright…[Read more]

I found out that Gaspar Zuan was illegal when I tried to make a Captain Jack Sparrow fleet with Zuan and infinite Oarsmen aboard a boat. (Also illegal because Oarsmen don’t stack, but I found that out only later lol.)

Woelf, let’s say I load Ghostly Encounter on a ship with one crew, and I roll for its effect then. Can I transfer Encounter to a…[Read more]

Aw man, the SAC/Devil’s Maw combo isn’t legal anymore? What a shame, that was a really awesome technique I was planning on using. Same with sac’ing Ransom crew, I guess I’ll either not use them or figure out how to make them more useful.

Both of those techniques SHOULD be illegal. You won’t be a fan of it the one time you don’t use it but your op…

If a crew with Black Mark activated is transferred to a ship of his original nationality, does that ship become Cursed?  If the crew goes to a Cursed ship, can he use his abilities normally?  Can a crew copy Black Mark or does it have no effect since it’s a start of play ability?

The crew remains Cursed (+1 cost) and would need to be tra…[Read more]
