New Battle Report for VASSAL Campaign Game 4!

Just finished the Michiel de Ruyter movie.  Loved it!

…do face down UTs still count for a cargo space?

Yes indeed!

@Woelf:

If I have an ability that moves an enemy ship (like an L-mover on a 5-6), how does the timing of d6 rolls work with sargasso seas when forcing a ship onto one of them?  Do I roll for the ship and that rating stays for my opponent’s next turn?  Or do (only) they roll once it comes back around to them?  If the latter, it must be assumed th…[Read more]

Ok, Please someone tell me what the resources idea is. I’ve been hearing that idea bounced around but have no clue what it means.

It’s in reference to cannofury’s Economy Edition rules.

Heh, just you wait, you haven’t seen nothing yet.

XD  Well then right back at ya partner for CG4!!  O_O

Nice reports!!  Awesome pictures as always.  The battle happening in Report 9 is so cool to see.  I’m still just so glad that we document these epic games and big battles.

With 4 cargo Divine Dragon can carry linked El Fantasma, helmsman, sir Edward and 2x oarsmen.

The link makes 5 spaces.  4 of those crew take up space, leaving one still open.

Who is “sir Edward”?  I thought you were talking about Sir Edmund from F&S.  Why would you need a reducer crew if you’re not even close to being over on points?

What’s the most unlikely string of luck you’ve had in a game? I just had one where I got an extra action off of Admiral Morgan 6-7 times in a row, with no re-rollers. And I still lost lol.

O_O  Nice.

Just this past turn in CG4, both the Pirates AND The Cursed got 6’s on their first roll attempts for an ability.  Sure only 2 rolls, but the magnit…[Read more]
