Stern turn of Schooner/Longship/etc: “When given a move action, this ship can rotate on her stern (the rear of the ship) in any direction as an additional, final movement segment.”
Because it says “additional”, does that mean a schooner cannot stern turn as its only move segment of a move action?
I would think they could, but I suppose it’s larg… -

Apologies if I’ve asked this before….

Multiple different crew may be linked to a single ship at once, but each crew can link with only one other crew or ship at a time unless an ability specifically allows additional links to be created.How many cargo spaces would a ship gain if it carried all three Knights of Malta at once? (Don Raf…

For ships that can stern turn, I assume that rotation “sweeps” across the playing surface? (and the ship needs a clear path, rather than getting picked up and placed, though the Code mentions the latter under Moving)
The stern turn is written as just a rotation, so you do not get to pick up the ship like with a normal segment. You aren’t…[Read more]

Curious as to your thoughts on these. What about:
1. Basing the capture on a boarding score differential (ex: If this ship wins a boarding party by a differential of 8 or more, you capture the other ship but she cannot be given actions this turn.)
2. Only being able to capture non-derelict ships if they have no crew (ex: If this ship wins a b… -

Suppose a ship finds Buried Treasure (or Plunder), and that treasure is later lost in a boarding party to an enemy ship. Does the loosing a turn aspect of those treasures apply to the ship that took them in the boarding party?
Ship A finds Buried Treasure(BT) and looses a turn and establishes value. Ship A is later boarded by enemy ship B. Ship B… -

So I guess the point of my rambling here is this: What exactly is the authority of the Code? My limited understanding was that it is more or less the rules set down by Wizkid’s rule arbitrator. But if that’s the case, why isn’t this printed on the cards or in the rules pamphlet that comes with the game itself?
The original purpose of the Pirat…[Read more]

Does that mean that for each iceberg that will move based on the initial roll, a separate d6 roll is required for every single iceberg that moves that turn?
I’ve always played that they all move with the same number of the 2nd roll (which is usually still in different directions), but perhaps I never read that sentence closely enough.After t…[Read more]

Woelf, do you happen to have an FAQ or multiplayer rules document from 2004 or 2005 from before Crimson Coast came out? I peeked around here and BGG a bit but didn’t find a document.

Even if the point reducer is moved to another ship? For example, lets say I have Stump on ship A, and then decide that I might want him on ship B. If I transfer him to ship B will he reduce the point costs of any crew on ship B?

Do free actions stack when triggers happen.
I believe so, though Woelf will be able to give more clarifications on if they do and if there are exceptions.
If multiple different things can be triggered by one thing, generally they can all be used unless something specifically prevents it.
Do you have any specific examples in mind, aside from…[Read more]

MrHolly of the Discord server brings up a good point: if you cancel the Marine keyword, you could load an enemy Marine onto your ship to make them part of your fleet.
Though not technically a “capture”, maybe still worth a mention in a future PC update.

Confirming for a Discord user: A crew with the Sac ability cannot use it on themselves to give their ship an extra action, correct?
Once per turn, you may eliminate one of this ship’s crew to give her an extra action.
Answered before I’m sure, but didn’t see it in the Code so I wanted to make sure I didn’t give them the wrong answer.…

What is the maximum number of actions a ship may be given without stacking using SAT, EA, SAC captain, Admirals action, and any other various action abilities such as “instead of giving this ship an action, you may give another ship in your fleet two actions”?

Would I be correct in interpreting this to mean that if a ship has only L range cannons and tries to Broadside Attack a ship that cannot be hit by L-range cannons, that the target ship can be shot at, but not hit, even if the roll for Broadsides Attack is successful?

The first question concerns the oceans edge card Davy Jones, which states, “limit. Once per turn, roll a D6. On a 1–4 you may give the ship an extra action: on a 5, you may give any ship you control an extra action: on a 6, you may give an enemy ship an action.”
