Now off to read some posts!

Ahoy JW! Glad to see you here after our goings-on in Instagram. XD

This game interests me cause of its uniqueness and my fascination with the age of sail and military history in general.

Love it! Sounds like we could have some interesting conversations! I hope your sails stay full of wind as your collection and…[Read more]

Naval Wars: The Last Campaign (A Pirate’s Story)
This is my first attempt at actually “making” a video through editing and putting something together versus just recording. Although the quality may be a joke […]

Ben started the topic 2018 End of Year Awards in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 9 months ago

With Miniature Trading becoming less active and the future status of that site in doubt, I do not want to post this over there and have it disappear in the future.

For a few years now I’ve tried to get people to vote on various “of the year” awards, but this year has been remarkably inactive and even depressingly stagnant in some ways, partly due…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic Rules for thought #17 in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 9 months ago

Automatic unloading at HOME IS part of rules, this is about forts. As I said, OTHER people think the collectible nature is a problem; I’m mostly fine with it. There are some threads at BGG that have people commenting on the issues they have. (more money to get what you need, randomness/duplicates/lack of generic crew can be frustrating, h…[Read more]
Ben replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 7 years, 9 months ago

Yeah, a double Crossbow attack would work. Sa-Drah seems fine at 9 or 10. Dris might work in the 10-12 range, interesting ship. Gormagog would love being “snot sure”. XD D’Kar at about 13 makes sense to me. Should just read “Equipment does not”, no need for the ‘s.

Gated Kingdom

Rarity: C
Type: Fort
Gold Cost:…[Read more]
