I have similar worries, but the discussion on the FB group seems to think that the Banshee’s Cry is the most OP thing in the game. Of course it possibly is along with mermaids and I proposed a league wide draft; participants would be able to chose 10 ships they could build their 60 point fleet with for the duration of a league season. Once they c…

Those 5 masters were all nail biters! We snagged the Celtic for around 60. I think the Zeus went for around 90$, and surprisingly the Delusion sold for more than a Baochuan both between 20-40 I think. I feel like the community truly showed what these ships are worth since the bidding started so low.

Nice.  It’s bizarre to not know what stuff went…[Read more]

Nice!  I definitely can’t do carpentry or architecture.  XD  The AA ability is fitting though given my endless strategizing in VASSAL campaign games and how much I’ve used the ability in those same games.

The word “attitude” is subjective in the flavor text for Xerecs’ crew, but I’ve always found him to be an incredibly good sport.  The abi…[Read more]

I won’t be able to realistically participate but it sounds like a cool idea!  Some of the unreleased stuff looks really good and/or fun.  My biggest worry is that UPS fleets would dominate too much so the best fleets would look very similar.

whoooaaa that sounded freaking awesome!!!!! I didn’t know you played~~~ HYPE!

Thanks!!  😀  Couldn’t get a perfect recording but decided to just go with it.

PS: Bet you didn’t expect that!  XD  No I am not back yet.  😀  Officer Training Command Newport is on holiday stand-down until the night of January 5th, so luckily I have a little bit of…[Read more]

I bid thee farewell (for now)…

If you ever get bored with Pirates CSG or feel it needs more “fresh” content, please take a long look at the massive quantity of stuff here on the site.  Especially when you really delve into the categories, tags, Rankings, videos, podcasts, and Battle Reports, the quantity is staggering.  Just because it seems “o…[Read more]

10 master alert!  5 total being bid on now, though soon to be 4 punched ones.

New .xlsx version of the Master Spreadsheet on the homepage.  Corrections: Oarsmen>Oarsman in RV UL, fixed ability text for Homemade Flag (both versions of SM).

I could get behind a structured competitive gambling scene for Pirates. With money on the line there may be a need for more strict guidelines on fleet builds. Las Vegas would be the perfect place to test out this theory!!! 🙂

No kidding!  I’m starting to think the idea has some merit.  There could be specific tables for various rulesets, with a v…[Read more]

Naturally this has been proposed before, but I haven’t added it to the main page yet.

-Play with real money

When setting up the game, everyone contributes real coins.  This would most likely be pennies/nickels/dimes/quarters, or just one of the above so each island would have the same amount.  It would be interesting if there was some way to hi…[Read more]

Haven’t posted the VASSAL standings in a long time… I’m sure this list is missing games, but it should include all of the VASSAL games I’ve been involved in along with a handful of others.

-For this list, games only count as losses if less than 4 players/fleets are involved.

Now up to 42 items being bid on, with a lot of singles.  Zeus may actually sell for $110+!

This does not feel complete without the old thread here…[Read more]

American Canoes over Zeus for sure. It’s a big scary ship that’s horribly underpriced, but it’s still a single basket of eggs. The canoes can scatter in five directions, and are quick enough that even without chaining them, they can pull in a lot of gold before an opponent hunts them all down.

Both are extremely good, just hard to compare.  I have…[Read more]

Just finished rereading the reports for VASSAL Campaign Game 3, certainly one of my all time favorite games.

Here is a version of the Master Spreadsheet with all the sets in one tab.  2652 total game pieces!
