I may have missed it when reading but where do we submit our fleets? This thread?
Yes, I had it under More Stuff but I’ll put it under Rules instead.
Post your fleet in this thread before 2022 starts.

Final numbers
Absolutely unreal. I am without speech. XD I can’t believe you got within about 500 points of the CTO record, and within 1000 points of CG4’s current total. O_O I have updated the Records post.

Ben replied to the topic A New Kind of "Bidding"? in the forum Pirates CSG 4 years, 9 months ago
I think an equally interesting thought, especially if it could be applied retroactively, would be to bid to remove certain items and/or prevent certain nations from ever getting them. Not every nation really needs or should even have a canceller or sac-crew.
Indeed, but in that case I would launch a public awareness campaign to destroy mermaids!

Ben replied to the topic Should Pirates CSG be Collectible Or Not? in the forum Pirates CSG 4 years, 9 months ago
Of everything, I think having the box set incorporate a known selection of generic crew is almost, or more important. Without captains, for example, you would be destroyed by an opposition who had those in abundance in their collection.
Agreed; I think any future iteration of Pirates would definitely have to make useful generic crew abundant…[Read more]

Thanks for reading! Calypso can definitely be a good game piece when used right. I want to experiment with her to find what works best. She has so much potential and I have a feeling not all of it has been explored, at least not “in public” by the current community.

Nice action! I’m quite surprised that the Calypso strategy worked so well.

@Shamsy: Thank you for the feedback!
The idea of a split distribution sounds kinda cool. I assume you would want the random packs to contain nothing you could find in the base box? (extras only, which would prevent duplicates at least at first)
Buying for excitement could work with an idea I had for starter packs/boxes – you know you’ll get…[Read more]

Ben replied to the topic Show Off Your Collection! in the forum Pirates CSG 4 years, 9 months ago
I was going to post my humble collection, but am having difficulty with inserting photos. I did read the thread but can’t get a result. To be continued.
Are you able to identify where it’s going wrong? Are you getting an error message?

@Shamsy: Welcome aboard! I love your story and it’s always great to hear about people coming back to the game.
However, the good news is I now regularly host games nights with some friends and I rediscovered my collection, safely tucked away in a few boxes. I immediately remembered the old love, the simplicity of the game, the ease of access and…

This is always a treat. I got the popcorn out for this finale. 🙂 I will admit I figured it would be 30 minutes of gameplay and duking it out with the last ~10 minutes for the results, so you faked me out with the quick ending. 😜😂
The results make me wonder who would have won the war if it was played out and the Franco-Spanish stuck tog…[Read more]

Here’s a weird concept that just entered my mind:
How much would you pay to have a specific game piece actually exist in the game? For example, Grim the Savage from Frozen North is the only example of a crew with the “Home Island Hoard” ability. My favorite faction is the English. Maybe I would be willing to pay $200 to retroactively add an En…[Read more]

Fair points. The English do have LE Griffin as a bit of a “cheat code” to help the Titan and Endeavour match or even exceed some speeds of other 5 masters.

I’m quite interested to see what becomes of the Admiral meeting. Are the Americans trying to meet with the French and Spanish admirals at the same time, or each separately? The answer to that could provide clues as to their intentions.

Top 10 Gunships for 40 Point Games
Although I’ve already made a Top 10 Gunships ranking, there have been some requests for a similar list based on the standard 40 point build total. I agree that it’s a good i […]

We have very different tastes for 40 point games. 😀 I’d rather have a faster ship as a main gunship, so I’d probably not choose the Titan, even though she’s just as good if not better than the Enterprise and San Cristobal. On that same thread I’d likely not choose the Endeavor, even though she’s one of the best damage dealers out there, she’s not as fast as I’d like or as cheap as I’d like for a 40 point game.

True, Griffin does exist, but I’d probably not use him in a 40 point game. For the same point cost I can get three or more more valuable crew on ships that would need them. I could also get another ship or two for the point cost as well.
