Well here’s my submission. 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!
Zeus(OE)23pts+ Hammersmith(F&S)5pts+ Derrick the Red(DJC)6pts+ Oarsmen(x6)6ptsUSS Kettering(FN)16pts+ Captain3pts+ Helmsman2pts
El Algeciras(OE)3pts+ Luis Zuan(RotF)2pts+ Stinkpot Shot 1pt
HMS Grand Temple(OE)15pts+ Hermione Gold(RotF)5pts+ Trevor Van Tyne(RotF)2pts+ Crimson Angel(OE)5pts+ Commodore Rhys Griffin Owen(BC)0pts
Le Soleil Royal(Rev)13pts+ Robert Surcouf(BC)7pts+ Porthos(BC)4pts+ Helmsman2pts
Thank you. 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!

Just a fun little pirate and Spanish swarm. Not really fast enough to beat Xerecs’ fleet above in a gold game, but I’d have fun trying to smash up the Enterprise bit by bit with the little Pirate gunships. Probably throw Explosives, Cross of Coronado, and Neptune’s Trident in too, and hope i get them. 😀
I honestly didn’t even think of the Dover or the London, but I’m liking both of those better now. 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’m probably a mix of the Gladiator, the Fool, and the Unpredictable. 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 French fleet (what can I say, it’s my favorite ship)
So this is a little 45 point fleet (or 40 with a build booster. 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.
Maui’s Fishhook, with Commander Temple and a Helmsman 28pts
To make some derelicts, she’s got HMS Oxford with a Captain and Helmsman aboard for 17pts.
Basically let your opponent get the gold for you. Then HMS Oxford runs everything down, and the MF comes on and steals the ships with gold on them
I’d like to get extra actions on the MF, but it quickly gets too pricey to fit in a sub 50 point fleet
Thoughts? I know it’s pretty simple, but I told Ben I wanted more fleet discussions, so I figured I better get something out there.
Ahoy there!
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 didn’t think about it till I found Ben’s YouTube channel, and decided to see what could be found for ot these days. Since then I’ve lurked around this sight and Ben and Xerecs’ YouTube channels learning anything I can. Recently I joined the Discord, and have had a great experience with everything and everyone there, so I decided I should sign up here too! Looking forward to more great times here!
