Captain Plunder

Ahoy Ben & Randy!

Great ideas, problem solved with Icebergs! What about Trade Currents? Would it be possible to get a picture of that game piece or is it also in Vassal?

=/=

Ahoy Ben!

I learned something new today about islands. I learned they have an island on one side and a fog bank, reef, sargasso sea, etc…on the other side. How cool is that?

Still haven’t found any trade currents, whirlpools, or icebergs yet. I just need to get the islands from the frozen north or proxy a fog bank for an iceberg?

Ahoy Ben!

I appreciate the heads up on my ships selection. I know I have a lot to learn sailing the high seas. My overall goal is for my family and I to have fun! The choice of those ships were difficult, but I am a dad on a budget, I wanted ships with four masts, and it will make things interesting.

So…I will be ordering my 4 four mast ships:

1. Revenge 11-4-4-L-4S,4L,4L,4S

2. Golden Medusa 15-4-4-S+L-3L,2L,2L,3S

3. Lady’s Scorn 15-4-4-S+S-3S,3L,3L,3S

4. Rum Runner 13-4-4-S+S-4L,4L,4L,4L

The best I could do!?! =/=

Ahoy Ben!

You are correct sir! I am actually wanting to introduce the game to my wife and kids and would like all of us to use ships from the Pirate faction of equal value to balance everything out. That way none of us are OP of one another.

Ahoy mateys!

Would using playing cards instead of dice work to determine your rolls? What is the highest you can roll in this game? I’ve only seen people use one die for their roll, so would that mean you would only use aces-sixes and use face cards or jokers for wild roll? The suits could also affect the outcome of your rolls too.

Are you able to customize Forts in Vassal?

Vassal?

Is it possible to grab images of terrain from Vassal to print out for tabletop play including Forts, etc? There has to be a way to customize terrain and other elements such as Forts for those of us who have missed the boat per say early on and coming in late to the game. By the way, how do I post a new topic in the Forum?

Terrain Question?

Since most terrain like Icebergs, Sargasso Sea, Trade Current, and Forts (technically not terrain) are hard to come by or out of print, how can noobs like myself fabricate this terrain to incorporate them into our play experience? I have seen all but Sargasso Sea, Iceberg, and Trade Current. I was able to crop a Reef, Whirlpool,…[Read more]

Ahoy Ben!

Thank you sir. I will look into it. In reference to your question as to which pirate games I have played on PC. The answer is too many to count. I generally prefer a pirate game that has a good balance of land and sea combat and exploration, but those dynamics are hard to come by. It is almost like playing two games in one or choosing…[Read more]

Ahoy mateys!

Can anyone advise me the best place to get islands for terrain to make my ocean more realistic? I like the idea that Pirates provides islands, but I want something more 3-D.

Argh!!!
