@Mechavelli: As with other house rules, let us know how it goes if you do. Can provide valuable feedback for players to use in the future.
but you can use it in conjunction with a captain (unless I’m wrong), which has caused some confusion and salty situations more than once.
You can, but that’s actually a great point I hadn’t thought of be…[Read more]

@Mechavelli: I like the English fleet! Though I hate the Treachery due to her flavor text (English are my favorite faction). Hopefully you can sub her out for the Cumberland or Antelope sometime. 🙂
I once won a game with Marques Miguel Antonio and False Treasure taking up half the point cost.
That deserves a battle report. XD
I once beat El…

@Mechavelli: Thank YOU for reading about the grand game! Thanks for the compliment too; even by 2015 my battle reports had come a ways since I started writing them in 2011. Really glad you enjoyed it. I’ve been posting the entire game one picture and caption at a time on Instagram, so it’s nice to see that someone has checked it out.
If you…[Read more]

Though I’ll always favor a ship like the Leon over a ship like the Duque.
I like speed above all else. Interesting how styles can differ like that.
@Mechavelli where you thinking of using any UTs for your game? Rum and Ghostly Encounter could work well.
(I like to shoehorn Snipe or Zephyr into my fleets and Rum is really good with them.)

You can tow the flotilla with the San Pedro like Ben said and use the spare 2 points to upgrade Leon into El Duque for better speed and cargo.
I don’t see that as much of an upgrade since Leon has better cannons and a solid ability. Though I’ll always favor a ship like the Leon over a ship like the Duque. 🙂

@Mechavelli: Neat story! Glad to have you aboard.
I honestly always have this little bit of hope whenever I go into a store that I’ll find one.
I often glance down the card aisle at Target just to glimpse the Pokemon and Yugioh stuff, but I never really stop anymore. I got some Fairfield boxes at a different Target in late 2011 and now I jus…[Read more]

@Mechavelli: You can have multiple oarsmen on a ship, but the no-stacking rule still applies. Due to that rule, the first oarsman doesn’t take up cargo space, but any added after the first have to take up cargo space because you can’t stack any part of the keyword. In which case I don’t think the setups you mention would work, unless I’m missing…[Read more]
