Does the Corbeta not have cannons?

These all look okay, though the Estrella Dorada might have too much cargo, at least for a one mast ship.

Only 10 since I don’t think anyone will be able to fit more than 10 ships into a 60 point fleet, taking crew into consideration. I’m mostly thinking of this league like a sports league. You’ve got a roster of players (ships) on your team, but not all of them play every night or every game. Participants would have those 10 ships to make their…[Read more]

I won’t be able to realistically participate but it sounds like a cool idea!  Some of the unreleased stuff looks really good and/or fun.  My biggest worry is that UPS fleets would dominate too much so the best fleets would look very similar.

I have similar worries, but the discussion on the FB group seems to think that the Banshee’s Cry is the mos…[Read more]

Nice!  I definitely can’t do carpentry or architecture.  XD  The AA ability is fitting though given my endless strategizing in VASSAL campaign games and how much I’ve used the ability in those same games.

The word “attitude” is subjective in the flavor text for Xerecs’ crew, but I’ve always found him to be an incredibly good sport.  The ab…

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]

hehh, I think the Flavor text is my favorite part. 😀

This one is kind of in jest, I might make a more serious version later, with some compatriots. 😀

JW Darkhurst
Points: 11
American
Ability: Explorer. When this ship rolls a 1 for any die roll, give this ships controller 1 gold from outside the game.

Flavor: The fun and music loving JW believes he is cursed. Nothing but bad luck seems to come his…[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.

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.
