They can often win the game for you, even if your gunships are having a bad day with the dice. Speaking of which, also keep an eye out for cheap, fast gold ships like HMS Antelope, HMS Trepassey, or HMS Hound. Just add a Captain and they're ready to assist your big ship, finish off derelicts, or chase down enemy gold ships. You usually can't afford more than one in a 40-point game, so also consider the virtues of smaller but capable ships like HMS Victor, HMS Hyena, HMS Nautilus, or HMS Henry VIII (with a bonus against the Cursed!). England has a goodly bunch of them, and they make fine flagships. I'm glad to hear about all your big fighters. It doesn't look perfect, but it's fine for gaming purposes, and I've never had a repair job break a second time. Then I color the splint dark brown with a permanent marker to blend with the printed mast. I use a piece of square wooden toothpick abut 1/2" to 3/4" long as a splint, and super glue (CA).

I do hope that Topps continues to sail the cursed seas as Wizkids did.īroken masts can be repaired quite simply. It sucks being the new guy when the game seems almost over. Well I'm rambling, and you guys have probably heard these stories for years. However, he has no idea what ships I've amassed in recent weeks. He tends to stick to the Cursed nation, with his dirty Davy Jones. I went to my friends house and played a couple weeks back, we played to games and so far I'm one for one. So, I'm trying to pick up every pack I can around here. Well the year ended and everyone vowed to return next semester with "ze best armes eva" lol. Quite a crowd would gather as my friends played their 40pt games. However, noone could resist the lure of watching the game take place in the lobby day and night. I refused to play because it was finals week and I really needed to do well. He and a bunch of other guys raided Target and another Comic Book store for the game and were hooked all week. My friend Jason introduced me to Pirates during my final weeks at college this past semester. S+L and all that firepower! The SR Black Pearl and Wicked Wench aren't bad ships either! Crew wise, I pulled Cursed Captain Jack, regular Captain Jack, both Will Turners, Captain Barbossa, Sao Feng, Calypso, and Elizabeth Swann from the PotC boosters. My favorite Pirate ship would have to be the 19pt Deliverance. All pretty sweet ships! The Gargantuan was the first ship that I got out of a 99 cent Davy Jones booster pack, and sadly I broke one of the masts. The British are definitely my nation of choice as of now, even though they are a bit costly! I've also acquired Admiral James Norrington, Lord Cutler Beckett, both Thomas Gunns, the HMS Swallow, Gargantuan, Apollo, and Aberdeen Baron.
