Although the song Barrett’s Privateers got referenced with HMS Antelope (BC 052), I don’t quite feel the piece properly represents the song it’s referencing. so I’ve created a few pieces which I feel better encapsulate the ship and her crew:
Name: Antelope
Cost: 6
Faction: English
Link: Elcid Barrett
Masts: 2
Cargo: 3
Movement: L
Cannons: 3S-3S
Ability: Schooner. This ship sinks when her last mast is eliminated.
Flavor Text: A scummy and poorly-kept vessel, the Antelope has received a letter of marque from King George to raid American waters.
Name: Elcid Barrett
Cost: 1
Faction: English
Link: Antelope, Barrett’s Privateers
Ability: Captain. Non-English ships get +1 to their cannon rolls against this ship.
Flavor Text: Although an incompetent sailor, the ever opportunistic Elcid Barrett has secured himself a ship and a letter of marque from the king. He hopes now to make his fortune raiding American merchant ships in the Caribbean and along the New England coast.
Name: Barrett’s Privateers
Cost: 5
Faction: English
Link: Elcid Barrett
Ability: This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls. One of this ship’s treasures is worth +1 gold when she docks at your home island.
Flavor Text: Recruited to crew his new raiding vessel, Barrett’s Privateers were told they’d be able to earn easy money and that they’d never have to face any actual combat.
