Each time we have the pleasure of running this game at Recruits we are only lucky enough to know a few of the stories of the 50 some odd players that participate. I encourage anyone who can pass on a good story to us to feel free to comment on the blog or email me. Below are some choice pictures of the 1100 that were donated to us by our friend Steve Hobbs who made record of the event.

 |
| "I am the very model of a modern major general..." |
 |
| "Spanish Galleon eh? Wonder which one of these guys I offended?" |
 |
| "The Kraken looks a little green. You think it's well?" |
 |
| "No really, how tough could a cannibal chieftain's body guard be?" |
 |
| "Can I call you back I'm repelling boarders?" |
 |

Winner of the best Career a man we only know as "Bill" took home a handsome vessel from Old Glory 25's
Bill was assigned to the Spanish treasure galleon and tasked to navigate the war-torn and pirate infested Caribbean between him and the open Atlantic. With little room to maneuver and a Kraken being dragged along caught in his rudder, he managed to slip past two nations' naval patrols and the unexplainable accuracy of the Dutch shore batteries. Congratulations from Our crew and thank you to Old Glory!

| Bernard claims Honorable mention and a fist full of seamen as his prize. About 1/2 a dozen 25mm pirates complements of Old Glory 25's. His score only trailed the top contender by a few points. Smuggling can be a rich enterprise in the midst of a war. He holds the record for highest points claimed by a smuggler. |
The Glory in Service to the crown goes to this young Captain of the twice lost french Frigate and capturer of a slightly used treasonous privateer who fell to his boarding action cleverly timed as his ship was sinking. For a colorful career He received an Old Glory Brigantine.

Worst Career goes to this disastrous duo who's efforts to discover the Lost Mayan temple lead them to Cannibal Island where they managed to get the entire crew of the French Frigate eaten by the local inhabitants. After marooning their captain on the Island to be eaten they escaped on to the open ocean in a canoe. Finding themselves unable to make port in the French held territory for acts of treason against the crown they paddled many turns dodging Kraken and ghost ship to the English port.After raising a ruckus at the English docks they met a gruesome end as it was reported to me that 37 muskets misfired simultaneously at the pier.For their Misdeeds they each received our traditional Old Glory "Broken Pirate"
Next report From Adventure Island! |
