You have to decide as soon as your ship touches the whirlpool if you’re going to use it or not. If you stop to tow the derelict, that puts you past that moment, so you’ll have to wait for another move action to tow the ship through.

Would this also apply to shooting with a captain?

An interesting crew for sure. His gold bonus would apply to both the ship he’s on and the target of the trade, yes? Provided that the target is an opposing Dutch or Japanese ship. Would the bonus stack if you did more than one trade before docking at your home island? Suppose the players managed to pull off three trades with Dutch and…[Read more]

“The Code, Stacking Abilities, pg 16”

If two or more abilities have different triggers and/or different effects they are considered different abilities and
may be stacked.

I take the above to mean that you could use White Crew and Trogs to totally cripple a ship if you win a boarding party against it. White crew would eliminate all the crew on a…[Read more]
