The Cargo-Wrecking, though very useful, isn’t much of a point booster either, especially since the Devil has all rank-4 cannons.

I strongly disagree.  If it’s useful, it has to increase the point cost.  6 cannons at 4L is not trivial, and a world-hater to essentially make them all 3L’s is easy to add (especially considering customs and not jus…[Read more]

Being faction-specific, I’d be very hesitant to make it anything other than a 0-point ability, and not even as a “half point” that could put you over the top when paired with a Hostile or Loyal.

Absolutely, I was not wanting it to be a -1 for cost or anything.  It would be “free” as a thematic negative, especially since if it applied to only o…[Read more]

What happens when you roll a number higher than the number of masts on the ship?

It would replace all the masts with fire masts, but not sink it outright.

Does it apply to only current masts, or total masts? (In other words, do you fill empty slots with fire masts if there aren’t enough remaining masts?)

For example, “Ransom: Spain” would mean that only the Spanish could get the benefit of the keyword.  This is for thematic reasons of course and to simulate some but not all nations putting a price on someone’s head.

Could even try to apply…[Read more]

Some good CC singles ending today.

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]
