Mostly I went for the biggest baddest gunships I could find. With the exception of one of my favorite Spanish ship, crew, and equipment combos. Hope you enjoy!

Also, I wanted to say I really like Davy Jones’ fleet above! Fog Hopping is one of my favorite gimmicks, and one I considered for my own submission. I love the inclusion of the Dutchman (one of my personal favorite ships) and you even subverted it’s biggest weakness. Bonus points from me at least for that!

I agree that this idea probably needs more points to be effective. And it definitely needs extra actions for sure. Thanks for the input! I like your suggestions

I mostly play solo campaigns these days, with a fair number of house rules. And I’m currently trying to use every ship I own at some point in the relatively near future, so I use different fleets almost every time I play right now. Other than trying to use Le Superbe in every…[Read more]

I’m really interested in the idea of the Maui’s Fishhook as a ship stealer with Commander Temple aboard,  so this is just a combo to get it on the board with decent support.

I be Projekt355 or Craig if you prefer. I started playing this game in 2007, but stopped about the same time the game went out of print. Then, about 2 years ago my parents sold the house I grew up in.  So I went and helped them clean everything out, and found an old Revolution tin with 15 ships in it, and brought it home with me. I…[Read more]
