Consider a scenario like this with all 3 ships lined up:

[Submerged submarine][Surfaced submarine][Enemy ship on the surface]

I assume that if the submerged sub shoots at the ship on the surface with a Marine, the surfaced submarine blocks that line of fire?

(not what happened in CG2, just curious)

Perhaps a better question would be if C…[Read more]

I was luck enough to have our Keymaster Ben track me down, and offer to podcast one of our conversations. So, as in many things, he has made my Pirates CSG work that much easier. Though, there does seem to be some missing audio in the recording. Especially around the time concerning the Broadside rules misunderstanding portion. But, no harm, no…

Xerecs and I are live on the podcast talking about campaign games!

I’m planning to meet up with Randy on Thursday 11/14 in Las Vegas for at least one game and maybe a podcast!  🙂

I have appointed new moderators that can delete both posts and users.  They will help me keep the forums clean of junk and violators.  Especially after 12/14/2019, please contact them if you notice spam/trolling/rulebreaking.

Let’s keep things civil around here so they and I have easy jobs!  😀

I think about them, All. Year. Long. 😀 Figuring out where to set-up, how much time of the day we’ll have, figuring out any rules changes, etc and so forth. Then once things get going, there’s in game strategy, out game strategy, and the reports.

Sounds like another topic for tonight’s podcast.  🙂   For me, out game strategy is sometimes when I…[Read more]

This has probably already been talked about…

I assume an “action canceller” wouldn’t work?  Just by definition it sounds too broken.  Trying to make it as “fair” as possible: “Once per round during an opponent’s turn, you may cancel one action taken by any ship within S of this ship.  The controller of that ship may choose to give the ship a di…[Read more]

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

I hear you on that… imagine if we had kept track of how many hours we spent on each campaign game. (including setup, strategizing while not playing, doing BR’s, etc)  O_O

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

@Xerecs (spoilers ahead)

What a game!
Seems like The Cursed and Angelica were potentially careless with that massive ice floe, unless it’s moving more than I think it is.
I’m pretty sure Periscope isn’t that good, much to my disappointment when I found out. I think Woelf said that it can only be used on the turn it’s played (“this turn”), not…[Read more]

Some good looking mystery lots!

Could you update your rules thread to mention this thread, and its purpose.

Good point, I’ll add a note.

Also sticky this to the top.

I think the stickies are fine as-is.

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