    I’ve been giving some of my common extra and she has really gotten to like ships. I am planning a trip as she is interesting in the seas.

    I like both but playing is much more fun.

    That’s sad but it gave me an idea that I am working on. Let me see what I can do… 🙂

    I was honestly going to buy the remaining but I figured someone in the community might want from Fire & Steel

    I really like the concept of Cancelers but I was unsure about a one masted ship. thanks for the insight.

    just opened my five 2 player packs and got three identical “packs” which contained. Squalo + Lady Newport+Cannoneer+Griffin… But that was not why I was getting the packs. I now have all six of the mega cards and picked up a lot of new ships to add to my collection.

    Now to wait for my 30 packs of Fire & Steel.

    Opened my blue tin. 3 Rv packs and 1 BC pack. I got the following:

    Enterprise, Yankee, Fort Thompson, La Felicite, Executioner, Le Favori, Granada, HMS Lord Kenyon and a Cannoneer for each of the big 6 and the mermaid event card.

    I really liked this pull and I have 5 OE mega packs coming soon.

    FYI: I got a return from CCGCastle too.

    Thanks for the clarification. As I see the game, mixed nation fleet don’t make sense, which is the reason I ask about the set. I just built the HMS Grand Temple and Divine Dragon, I can see why people like them but I find myself more attached to the 3-4 mast ships. I’ll be buying into the set as I really think the galleys look great. Thank you.

    I have watched your podcast on the barbary coast and read the post. there is a sense of disappoint with the set. maybe it is because you guys have played the game for a long time and there is a lot of comparison to ships from other nations and sets.

    I really like the look of the Barbary Galleys though.

    I haven’t really thought about the PoTC set but it only has the English and Pirates from what I’ve read.

    Here is a link to a private video about the packs. I am uploading a video with further evidence that it is ccgcastle.

    I’m still waiting for a reply but something tells me I am just going to call my creditor and dispute the purchase to force ccg castle to address this issue.

    after this, i am going to double check any pirates purchases I make. how is wholesalegaming?

    As a matter of fact, you should do a video regarding repacks. that way any new people who try to get into the game can identify packs that have been tampered with.

    I have only heard of shops and sellers doing this but this is the first time this has happened to me. I requested a refund and notified eBay, my credit company and the FTC about this as they have 2 more of these listed and they are willing scamming people. not cool at all. They have until the 6th to reply regarding my refund but I have a strong feeling they will not respond.

    I have photo and video evidence of this saved.

    do not buy from this guy. all the packs I got were resealed. I reported him for fraud.

     

    EDIT: and just to clarify, this package came directly from ccgcastle

    You covered a a couple of the questions I would have asked, but here is one that might get an interesting answer if he can answer it:

    The game started with Historical fleets and toward the end of the game, it shifted in a more fantasy direction. was that a change direction to gain a bigger audience or a way for the team to express their ideas?

    Thanks for the clarification. So to keep things a little more simulated, I would see the opportunity to move around a ship I am already attacking, but root of the question was if I could move + Shoot again or if the “Same Action” only allowed the move. Awesome. Thank you.

    And sorry about that misplacement of my post.

    I looked here and Miniaturetrading but could not find it. I want to know what the real difference the Captain’s ability to move and shoot with the move action and the interactions between the Same Action and Extra Action?

    I ask because I have the HMS GT and I have Crimson Angel. would I be able to move and shoot (captain) than use the same action, to move no distance (In case I was within S range) and shoot again? or is this not allowed? I did not see that a ship had to move it’s full distance.

    I like unbalanced game. I’m a person who loves to play against a meta and playing non efficient models in effective ways.

    I do this all the time in my miniature games (infinity, frostgrave and guild ball)

    Does the Miniaturetrading site not accept new users? I have tried creating an account and the captcha never matches and I have not been able to create an account in the last three days…

    Anyone know a way to contact them about this?

    The cool thing is the nightmare is a common, so I built one of them for my daughter. Depending what I get from the SE boxes, I might go with another set like revolution to get more american ships.
