Let me know if/when you’re free, we can have a game or two.

I’m envisioning the League as semi to very competitive, with a set amount of time for a “regular season” and then a “playoff” at the end.

Could work that into the Pirates League I’m thinking of making.

Since CG1 it’s become somewhat of a norm in my campaigns (and the ones that I play with you) for the Spanish to use as many of or all of their ships with the +1/+2 gold bonus ability. I’m not sure if you’re the first person to figure this out for a campaign or not, but it does represent a sound strategy that few factions can match, since the…[Read more]

Not particularly. Pirates is one of about three things I obsess over, the other two being Lego and books. That said, I do like the ocean, and enjoy going to the beach every now and again, both to swim and other stuff, but also to some that are great for tidepools.

Should the Doom Viper’s ability be changed or tweaked or, with some point cost deductions, would it be fine as is?

Woelf said that as it is, it could come down a few points, probably into single digits. I agree, and a new cost of 7-8 I think would be good.

Southern California, in the suburbs of LA is where I call home.

I would rather not incorporate both into the same equipment. I like the extra powder as-is, though I think giving a ship Extended range for just 1 point might be a little much, even if it is for just one tun. Perhaps putting it a 2 points would be better.

I can’t even imagine how much time has been sunk into these campaigns. I think about them, All. Year. Long. 😀 Figuring out where to set-up, how much time of the day we’ll have, figuring out any rules changes, etc and so forth. Then once things get going, there’s in game strategy, out game strategy, and the reports. I’m trying to adopt a schedule…[Read more]

It feels like I have a beef with the results every year.

The controller for the Cursed and Spanish figured you’d have issue with it. 😀

SOOO many AWESOME pictures in this game! It definitely goes down as one of the nicest looking Pirates CSG games of all time. I watched this report like a movie with the lights dimmed and with Goldfish and…

With the last report going up not too long ago, the Century of Economy 2019 playlist is now complete, and you can watch all of the reports back-to-back here.

The Finale is here!!! Alas, it took me longer to get up than I would have liked (it’s November for pete’s sake), but its finally here! I was debating waiting until Saturday to upload, but I figured I’d spoil all you pirates out there, or at least those of you keeping tabs on this game still. 😀

Best of luck in the Navy!

I’m more of a player than a collector, but I have focused on collecting from a certain set, and a certain faction; those being every Spanish piece from SM (named crew and ships only), and every Cursed piece from DJC (again, named crew and ships only). When I do go looking for pirates stuff, I almost always go looking for big lots at a decent price…[Read more]

As Ben said, I wasn’t sure if these were pirates or what until the end.

That said I think most of these are fine. Is the Coastal ranger’s ability based on her flavor text, like the Pirates and English don’t know that the ship has switched sides?

How are ships that are physically built like a certain ship-type, like the HMS ye from SCS, but don’t have the associated keyword treated?

The Code says:
Ships (particularly galleys, schooners, and turtle ships) have only the abilities printed on their deckplate cards.
–While certain ship types and certain keyword abilities are often associated…[Read more]

“The Code”

Ships (particularly galleys, schooners, and turtle ships) have only the abilities printed on their deckplate cards.
–While certain ship types and certain keyword abilities are often associated together, they are independent concepts that cannot be interchanged even if they have similar names.
–A ship does not automatically gain the…

The Rye is physically a galley, but lacks the Keyword. Would that technically make her not a galley and therefore able to ram other ships?
