Hmmmm. Julian should maybe be one point more. That is what WK would put that combination of abilities as, but those are to very good abilities.

Lol so no custom pieces?
How many players are you thinking of getting involved in this? There’s a limited amount of pieces to use, and it’s only a matter of time until we encounter duplicates/repeats.

No customs for the first season, probably the second as well. Later on if the league takes off Customs could slowly be phas…[Read more]

Continuing my idea for a Pirates League.
This would be a semi to very competitive league, with scheduled matches, a time frame for those matches to take place in, and a Playoff tournament.
All games would be held on the VASSAL module, and would be 60 point, two player games. All pieces made by Wiz Kids, INCLUDING return to Savage Shores AND…[Read more] -

Even though it would mean that her linked crew can’t be assigned to the ship normally, I think La Fuega del Sol should be cheaper. I’m thinking around 9-10 points. She does have two good cannons, so I could envision her going for 11, but any higher than that feels too expensive.

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.

If there was a “Pirates CSG League” would people be interested in participating?
This is an idea I’ve had for a while now, games/matches would be played on the VASSAL module so pretty much everyone could participate if they wanted to.

Xerecs commented on the post, Pirates: 2019 Year in Review 6 years, 10 months ago
It seems that my years revolve around the campaign games I play in the summer. Preparing and figuring out the space to play, getting the map tables set up, playing the game, etc.
This year I set the new record of second largest physical campaign played, something I did not believe was possible, especially in the even more limited playing time…[Read more]

I take it UPS fleets are not “Gimmick” fleets, since they’re so competitive?
Would using Sea Monsters/Creatures count as a Gimmick? I once won a deathmatch scenario with a majority Sea Monster fleet.

Xerecs replied to the topic Strategy/Gameplay discussion thread in the forum Pirates CSG 6 years, 10 months ago
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]

Xerecs replied to the topic Does your love of Pirates/naval stuff seep into real life? in the forum Pirates CSG 6 years, 10 months ago
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.

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…

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. 😀
