How does Black Mark work on a ship?  It’s only worded for crew so I think you’d need to make a new ability.  I think I get the general gist, but would it be mandatory to use it?  (or declare it’s being used from the start of a game)

Yeah, I need to come up with something, Black Mark was the best option I had at the time and communicated how I wa…[Read more]

Hydra is interesting. Cannon ability is too hard to use with Mercenary, but the last ability could allow it to operate at sea for quite some time.

—————————————————–

Hydra’s cannon-generating ability will be nearly impossible to use because you’ll need to go out of your way to have a canceller stationed nea…

The Colina feels expensive for what you get. You have 5 masters from English and America with more cargo hold using the same ability + an Oarsman that still come in cheaper with equivalent or better firepower. 13-14 would be more competitive pricing.

Hmmm, good point on the cost, even at 13 or 14 she might still be too expensive, given the 2 cargo…[Read more]

I did indeed try to make a combined canceller and SAC action so I mostly lifted the text from the existing cards and mashed them together. I believe normal cancellers should work that way unless I misread those.

They do indeed work that way. Since this version requires a crew to be eliminated it’s maybe not as good as the actual ones, but it does…[Read more]

So obviously the above is very much flavored/directly lifted from The Goonies background and fluff.

…..Why did I not think of this already? I love that movie!

Interesting ship, always fun to see a Treasure Ship, and with a very interesting ability especially for people who play by the rules. I kind of house-rule that treasure goes down with…[Read more]

Both of those look interesting, and pretty neat.  Maybe you’ll use the Vassal on VASSAL in CG4.  XD

Heh, there’s a possibility of that happening.
