I’ve checked around he site and the web but can not wind what ‘Trade Currents’ do. what are they?

You can see in Page 10 of the Combined Set Rules. (which I have linked on the homepage for convenience)

Looking around and found some stuff.  Punched Guichuan: https://ebay.to/2wTPHV0

Small SM lot worth bidding on: https://ebay.to/2WFdck9

Random CC crew lot with a couple Promo/LE’s: https://ebay.to/2MOT5eR

Signed up for Teespring and now you can get some Pirates CSG shirts!  😀

There’s a wide variety of colors and types, and I plan to keep adding stuff to the store in the near future.

Picked up this thin and flimsy but interesting plastic molding from work today.  That’s the Ville de Paris on a hard card sleeve suspended above the valleys.  It reminds me of the table that was posted on Miniature Trading a while back. (haven’t found the post yet)

SO many options.  I’m thinking about attaching a piece of plexiglass to the to…[Read more]

Great!  I fondly remember those times when I was consistently adding new ships and crew to my collection.

That is unfortunate about the Mega Packs, and one thing I don’t miss as much lol.  (getting lots of dupes, and ones that aren’t that useful in some cases like Squalo)

It is a nice deal on F&S, I’ve thought about it a few times the past few w…[Read more]

I really like the concept of Cancelers but I was unsure about a one masted ship. thanks for the insight.

That was such a good podcast. It feels really good to be a part of this.

Thanks!  Glad you enjoyed it.  Happy you’re enjoying Pirates CSG too!!  😀

The podcast is live!!

Sounds like a potentially fun ability.

It is, I actually used that custom in at least one game in 2015 or 2016.  (hope to republish the battle report this year here on the site)

Thanks, I’m looking forward to it as well. This Summer our time is constrained more than ever, so the victory condition number 2 is most likely to occur. However, (small spoiler) we have the least amount of islands this year than ever before, so that should force more combat and competition for islands.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that at least i…[Read more]

We are planning to do the podcast around 4pm EST tomorrow (6/11), and I plan to stream it live on youtube!

Awesome, looking forward to it as I do every year!!  😀   Should be interesting with some custom islands/etc in the mix as well.
