Fantastic! Will it be entirely based on history?

@Ben

Not quite historical so much as more realistic than say Ocean’s Edge. There will be some ships/crew that are fictitious, while still being well within the realm of possibility. Also, just for a bit of fun and flavor, the Swedes will be getting a long ship or two, perhaps one for Germany to f…[Read more]

If it’s always going to be attached to a ship and has no use on its own, this would make more sense as Equipment.

It could take up no cargo space when revealed (deployed).

Relevant Keywords: Assassin: +1 to all boarding rolls. After a successful boarding party, roll a d6. On a 5 or a 6, eliminate one crew from the boarded ship (eliminates unique crew first).

I’m creating a new set, called Pirates of the Baltic Sea. It will add Sweden and Russia, as well as a Germany that has united about 100 or so years earlier than in our time line (and has a stronger navy). These factions will replace Spain, France, and America. So far I’ve only finished one ship, so here it is:
