Ben replied to the topic The Random (PCSG) Topic Thread in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 2 months ago
Got some pretty wild, crazy, and fun fleets brewing for that game I’ve talked about a little, hopefully to happen in September. I’m thinking I might release at least one of the fleets to be used in the game, but I don’t want to release all of them beforehand. Almost all of the fleets use only Wizkids pieces, but the final fleet for the game I j…[Read more]

2 fleets, 50 points
4/21/2017
A quick 50 point game between these two fleets. There would be no damage due to ramming.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Ocean’s Edge! Due to lack of interest and some annoying no-shows, there weren’t any VASSAL games played for this anniversary after all, so I had to play by myself. However, […]

Nice to see some folks online over the past month, including a bunch of (new?) names I don’t recognize.

Mine is here: 2014 Fleet Review

This 3 player VASSAL game at 40 points was between morgull (Jose on the module), nickster5000, and myself.
Nick went first with a Pirate fleet, using the SM Harbinger and Recreant. Morgull followed with his o […]

@juulm: Thanks! Sorry, I should have made that more clear and I will edit the post. Impossible to actually play even a demo/solo game as far as I can tell. The fleet builder is neat but there’s not much you can do.
Have fun,

@PH: Ahoy there matey! If you think the site comments are nuts, check out how active the Forum has been lately! 😀
A lot of people are still having a lot of fun with the game. The official online version has been gone for a while now, but the VASSAL module is a suitable replacement. It can be used to play massive campaign games that are really fun, like CG4.
Perhaps you could play again soon!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

@Mongo: Mongoevil!? Ahoy there!! I have heard a lot about you from them via the podcast they had that you can still listen to.
I invite you to try an alternative – the VASSAL module allows for virtual play over an online server. Myself and others have used it extensively, and VASSAL Campaign Game 4 gives an idea of how capable it is. 😀

Glad to hear it! I have a lot of fun playing the tabletop version nowadays, just finished up a tournament this month.

Your comment reminded me; Zarthbenn at the Discord server was able to get them. I just updated the post and made them available here.

Ben replied to the topic Questions About Game Rules & The Pirate Code in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 2 months ago
Is ‘This crew takes up no cargo space’ an ability unto itself that is subject to the no-stacking rule?
Yes. Which is actually good because otherwise you’d be able to use a TON of oarsmen without regard to cargo limitations on a ship with a Sac Captain. The first crew with that ability on a ship doesn’t take up space, but the rest do. (ther…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 2 months ago
So you suggest a link similar to the Heart of Stone?
I think that makes more sense than making the entire ship borderline invincible. The ringbearer couldn’t hide the building he was in, for example. Let alone allow a large sailing vessel to be impervious to any kind of damage. It’s a ring for one person, not a sci-fi cloaking device. I mig…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic The eBay Sales thread in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 2 months ago
It’s because eBay’s system is lame and never works half the time when you put in the proper information. LOL.
Welcome aboard! That sounds familiar to experiences I’ve had in the past, possibly as both a buyer and seller.
Thanks for the info!

Ben replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 2 months ago
The SR’s look pretty fair overall, though I think The Ring might be less OP if it was linked to a crew that couldn’t be eliminated (or turned face up?) rather than an entire “invisible” ship.
I understand it’s just an interpretation of existing concepts from a different fantasy world, but the choice of game pieces is more of an issue IMO than the…[Read more]

This LE lot looks nice. Though there’s a mystery shipping amount from Canada.
