Thanks everyone for the input…Games I have played in the recent past (10 yrs ago) were mostly table top RPG’s Like DnD, Fudge, Gamma World, Cyberpunk, Shadowrun, True 20, and more I can’t remember… It was there I wanted to write my own RPG and I am almost finished with it now
Game on
Nothing Pirate related, But it is called “The Case For Christ”…Like I said it is not pirate related at all. But you did ask what am I reading.
So Game On
Ahh you caught my bad spelling, That’s one thing I am actually really bad at. Sorry about that. It was my error not the Deckplate or Spreadsheet.
Yeah my Wife played the English, her mom played the Spanish, I played the French and our friend played the Pirates. I must have taught them well, they all did a great job of playing.
Your correct speed is Great, However I was teaching the game mechanics so I only included one of each crew for the player to choose from, explaining what each crew is capable of doing.
May be next game Ill let them choose more double of said crew. They all saw how Fast the French with Helmsman docked at wild island first.
Battle Report – 50 Point Game: From SM & CC
Pirates with: The Rover, Bonnie Liz (with Shipwright), Recreant (with Musketeer), and Dark Hawk II (with Captain & Helmsman)
Spanish with: La Rosairo, El San Francisco (with Shipwright), El Triador (with Musketeer), and L’ Aguila (with Captain & Helmsman).
English with: HMS Albion (with Oarsman), HMS Alexander (with Explorer), HMS Lord Walpole (with Musketeer), and HMS Dover (with Captain & Helmsman).
French with: L’ Artesien (with Helmsman), La Provence (with Musketeer), Le Triton (with Cannoneer) and La Possession (with Captain)
8 Wild Island and 4 Home Islands – no Terrain, no Forts, no UT, just gold points and 4 treasure coins per Wild Island.
Pirates go first…and head for Wild Islands with all ships.
Then French go second, and split fleet, L’ Artesien docks first, but with no explorer has to wait until next turn to explore. La Provence and Le Triton ships try to reach The Pirates and La Possession sail towards the English.
English go next… and split fleet, HMS Albion, and HMS Alexander sail towards Wild Islands. HMS Lord Walpole, and HMS Dover sail toward the French. With the HMS Dover real close to L’ Artesien.
Spanish go next…and send all ships towards the Pirates, with L’ Aguila reaching pirate ship Bonnie Liz and since the Spanish have a Captain she fires all her Masts at the pirates, scoring 3 hits, she sinks the Bonnie Liz. Therefore, the Spanish draw first blood.
The Pirates go next… Dark Hawk II turns toward the Spanish and lines up to El Triador and fires all her masts, and misses all of her shots. Bad luck for the Pirates. The Rover and Recreant dock at wild islands.
Now the French… L’ Artesien Explores the wild island takes the highest 3 coins. La Provence and Le Triton continue towards the Pirates, La Possession tries to catch the English still.
English go next… HMS Dover reaches L’ Artesien and fires one shot and hits, causing the L’ Artesien to become derelict. HMS Alexander docks at a wild island and explores it in one action. Picking up 3 more coins. HMS Albion docks at Wild Island. HMS Lord Walpole continues toward the French.
The Spanish go next… L’ Aguila gets close enough to Ram Dark Hawk II; No mast were eliminated and an unsuccessful boarding party leaving L’ Aguila pinned. El Triador docks at Wild Island, La Rosairo and El San Francisco now head for wild islands.
The Pirates go next… Dark Hawk II fires all her masts at L’ Aguila scoring 3 hits, taking out 3 masts, The Rover and Recreant explore on their turn.
Now the French… La Possession catches HMS Lord Walpole and fires all her cannons, hits 2 times, La Provence and Le Triton catch up with the Pirates, and Le Triton rams The Rover, eliminating a mast, and boards, stealing a Treasure coin. La Provence fires at Recreant, and misses.
English go next… HMS Dover touches L’ Artesien and explores it taking all the treasure. HMS Alexander sails for home Island. HMS Lord Walpole shoots at La Possession hits 1 time. HMS Albion explores wild Island picking up more coins.
Well the story continues and there were more turns for every player and I can’t remember play by play, but I do know the Pirates get decimated by the Spanish and French, The English manage to get 3 of their ships to their Home Island and get the most of the gold in the game. Therefore, we called it at that point with the English winning the game for gold acquired.
For beginners and new people to the game, it went well, and everybody said they would play again.
I am getting four flags from them: one French, one British English, One Spanish and one Pirate all 4 by 6 inches to fly at our HI in my game
I just ordered 4 inch By 6 inch flags for English, French, Spanish, And Pirate with stands to put them in from https://www.onlinestores.com/
Just thought any one could check them out as well
Game On
Still looking for American Helmsman & Shipwright and a Pirate Cannoneer
Also Aramis, Athos & Porthos from BC
Can any one help me out?
Thanks
As per the Big Ship Game I played… They used just Ship names from SM & CC for French. The Masts were removable and the ships Awesome (Still trying to find pictures)
The Game I’m setting up will have for the French, L’ Artesien, La Provence, Le Triton, and La Possession. For the English, HMS Albion, HMS Alexander, HMS Lord Walpole and HMS Dover. For the Spanish, La Rosario, El San Francisco, El Tirador, and L’ Aguila.
These were picked by the players and the Pirate fleet has yet to be determined.
No report yet but I’m collecting pieces for a 50 Point game with Pirates, Spanish, French, and English. each fleet will have a 1 mast, a 2 mast, a 3 mast, and a 4 mast ship(no 5 masts) normal crew (no named crew) 8 wild islands, 4 home islands, (no forts), 8 coin pieces totaling 20 gold per player
all this due to new players I have to teach and I only have SM & CC Cards
I just bought 51 SM packs and 36 CC packs and I have duplicates of some of them now but how do I tell if the SM are UL or First ed.? and does any body want my extras?
Also I’m looking for an American Helmsman and an American Shipwright, any body have spares of them i could sure use them
Thanks
The Games I’m about to play with the three new players I’m going to teach are going to be the four Main factions, Pirate, Spanish, French and English due to the fact I only Have SM & CC cards for now… each faction Starting at 50 point fleet and crew (all regular crew – no Name crew) 10 point for crew and 40 for ships (no forts) and each fleet has to consist of an 1 masted ship, a 2 masted ship, a 3 masted ship, and a 4 masted ship (no 5 masts). four ships per fleet, 8 treasures coins per player worth 20 gold, and 3 islands from each player giving the field 1 home island per player and 8 wild. No events (yet) and no unique treasure (yet). All this is because I want a balance and their all new to the game.
The big Ships in The MN Ren Fair were made of light Balsa wood cut out to perfect replicas of the actual game pieces With the the Names of the ships Printed on them just like the CSG and I might be able to find pics of them let me look (search the web) for them. We had Big dice as well that we had the kids roll for us and Kids did the Moving of the ships and we used Smoke bombs for effect. we gathered quite a crowd to watch us play.
I just got back into the game and received 51 SM packs and 36 CC packs form ebay then bought what i was needing from RainTiger to get playable sets for a 50 point game for Pirates, English, Spanish, French, Cursed and American… that’s all I collect, not going for a complete set just playable factions. did not like DJC, except cursed that I liked or BC, MI, FN, FS or SS did not get into them like I did with the first 3 sets.

Hello Ye old pirate players, My Name is Don and I started playing with SM then CC then well you get the picture I had yes had a Great collection But I never got to RotF or later sets that followed it. Then a divorce happened to me And guess what…My entire collection was lost…The X got rid of all my stuff.
Just recently I ordered 51 packs of SM and 36 Packs of CC to restart my collection again then went to RainTiger to order Just American and Cursed to start me over again…
I have 3 other players to teach the game to when my orders arrive next week
I even was part of the Pirates Game at the MN Ren Fest where they played with BIG ships on an open field…That was fun we had the English, Spanish, French and of course Pirate crew.
Thanks Ben for helping me be part of this forum – Game on
