We’ll (me and my brothers) likely not beat CTO next summer, and I don’t really want to, at least not next summer.

The new islands are great.  Hard to pick a favorite since…[Read more]

@Dakmor: Moved to this thread to keep the forum clean of having a lot of the same type of threads lying around.  Nice pictures!

Well good luck, man…I truly hope you find something special during your time. Truly honored to hopefully be part of one of your bon voyage games! Fair winds and following seas, my friend.

Our official count is actually up to 353 unique ships as of this last weekend! Just got our first Viking ships, completed South China Seas, and about 4 ships away from finishing up Spanish Main!

Best of luck in the Navy!

Thanks!

Back in June 2019 right before the fall of Miniature Trading, I did make the fleets I talked about in my post from March 2nd.  Here they are:

American Pirates 2
American Pirates 3
American Pirates 4
American Pirates 5
French Pirates
Pirate All Stars

At some point in the future I may write descriptions for the fleets and make them into full p…[Read more]

It does, just kind of funny to wrap your head around.  🙂
