Report 24 is now up! See you in the Finale……

How the hell did Spain get their 1000 gold coin from the Branwen??!

I’m pretty sure it was part of the armistice talks, even though I don’t mention it in the report. The Spanish were willing to accept a peace or a truce if their gold was returned, but would have kept fighting if it wasn’t. The Pirates were weary of the conflict at this point,…[Read more]

Report 22 is now up!

Have you considered having fire stuff only work with the 2 hits/mast rule?  Like we’re doing in CG4, where fire stuff doesn’t bypass that rule like it normally does.

Yes I have considered it. However I don’t think one of my brothers would get on board with it, the other one I’m not so sure.

They actually aren’t too upset with the fire stuff, they…[Read more]

That Baochuan town capture was epic to me, nice appearance all of a sudden and coup by the Pirates.

It was epic, and it was a complete oversight by the Spanish. They forgot that the Baochuan was in the area and didn’t figure that the pirates would try and take back the triangle island.

keep it up Guys, it’s great

Thanks, glad you’re enjoying it!

Report 20 is now up!

I agree that the Corodums wording could be simplified to match the language that WK used.

When loaded, Move to the ship in your fleet with the most crew.

To avoid any possible confusion I think you should specify that the treasure moves. This is just vague enough that it could be interpreted differently. Is a crew moving? Is the ship? Is the…[Read more]

Report 19 is now up! Pirates v. Spanish!

where there are far more customs in play than Wizkids ships, and nobody watching will have any idea what’s going on because they haven’t heard of any ships mentioned in a battle report.  XD  I like the 4 master with the Frontier masts, neat look.

I suspect that’ll happen to me as well. For now I limit custom stuff to only ships and crew we’ve…[Read more]

Report 16 is now up! War has begun……

Is the rolling for actions effect meant to be every turn, or just once the first time it’s revealed?

Once, the first time it’s revealed.

I get that turns v. actions makes it more complex, but I’m envisioning a ship being able to use “Once per turn” crew/abilities twice.

For example, the Vahi is on the same ship as Calico Cat (SM). The Vahi is r…[Read more]

I’m interested in that Acorazado setup with Blanco.

I don’t think it’s mentioned in detail, but the Spanish have two cargo masters in play, giving the Acorazado 7 total. Blanco reduces the cost of all crew aboard after himself and costs 2 points. The Spanish then added Empress Kida (FoBI, 7 point merc Capt.+WH), Castro, Vega, Diaz, helmsman, c…[Read more]

Report 15 is now up! Happy Memorial day!

Is the game supposed to end if the ship is sunk when the UT is still face down?

No, that effect only triggers if the UT is face-up. I’m not sure how to word it so that’s clear.

Now that it only affects the ship carrying it, it would probably be better to define it as “this ship may be given an extra/no actions”, since ship “turns” aren’t…

Re-work for the Vahi:

Load this treasure face-down. You may reveal it at the beginning of one of your turns and roll a d6. On a result of 6 this ship may take it’s turn twice. On a result of 1-3 this ship may not be given any actions this turn, and it’s next turn. Once revealed this treasure cannot be removed from this ship, if this treasure is…[Read more]

Honestly I forgot I worded it like that. There’s an alternate version where it’s limited to affecting only the ship that finds it.

Most likely a powerful UT.

The Vahi: At the beginning of your turn you may roll a d6. On a result of 6, you may take two turns in a row. On a result of 1, your turn ends immediately, and you lose your next turn. This treasure cannot be removed from this ship. If this ship sinks, the game ends.

As long as those Spanish ships have plenty of support, it could be a real pain to deal with.

The Spanish plan to keep lots of support around them. The overall idea is to get the entire fleet (squadron) all in one place with some of the other Spanish capital ships, and/or other ships they have that are Eternal. In other news,
