This is informal and everyone can just submit their own favorite contributions from the year if you want! 2019 version for reference
If you’d like to nominate certain items for the various categories, please do so. We can vote in this thread as well. I’m completely fine if people just post their favorite submission for the year in each categor…

Ben replied to the topic Custom Ships (post your custom game pieces here!) in the forum Pirates CSG 5 years, 10 months ago
Here is the Sea Turtle Keyword as currently written: If this creature succeeds at a ramming action it eliminates all crew on the enemy ship. It takes 3 hits in the same turn to kill a Sea Turtle (considered to have one mast). Sea Turtles cannot be pinned. Generally Submerged.
One thing to keep in mind is that sea creatures can’t submerge by…[Read more]

@Xerecs: It turned out pretty lopsided, kind of just a raging inferno.
I hope you can play next time! -

Played a quick little game on VASSAL with Tyraziel, who is back into Pirates after many years! He was a member of Flightleader’s old site, I think called Pirates Pocketmodels World.
I made a new fleet I […]

Wow, sounds like quite a contest. Maybe next time I’ll be able to get in on the action.

Ben commented on the post, UPS 5 Enhanced 5 years, 10 months ago
@Xerecs: Indeed, events always pose an issue. (which is of course why I like to ban them)
That would be an interesting counter – a fully loaded 10 master could pose problems if they used it with their own Hidden Cove and Sac. However, Tia Dalma would help a bit against that contingency, and having two quick-acting “CJS ships” would increase the…[Read more] -

UPS 5 “Enhanced”
70 (75) Point FleetThe idea for this fleet came to me when a game for the 10th anniversary of the Facebook group was discussed. Xerecs led the setup process, with a build total of 70 […]

At face value I’d rate this a 5/5. UPS 5 was a powerhouse in the tournament, and it only lost to the eventual winner IIRC.
You might run into a snag if you go up against someone who
A) Uses events to attack your ships, Mermaids, Becalmed, etc.
B) The fleet comes up against a mostly gunship based fleet, something built around the HMS Grand Temple or San Cristobal.I’m wondering if a single ship fleet built around one of the other ten mast ships would be any good against this one.

That would be an interesting counter – a fully loaded 10 master could pose problems if they used it with their own Hidden Cove and Sac. However, Tia Dalma would help a bit against that contingency, and having two quick-acting “CJS ships” would increase the chances of having one survive long enough to teleport home an entire island of coins.
Now I’m thinking of other potential UPS combinations, like putting CJS on the OE Deliverance or Roanoke in a 40 point game….Thanks for commenting!

Just to confirm, the “must begin the game S away from its home island” part of Mercenary does not require you to have the bow of the ship pointing at the home island?

Tiny nitpick: The PC has “This ship can shoot at submerged ships within S” with the “of her.” part at the end of the ability text.
