Ruthless and cruel, a man nary stray from his duty before the mast less he be flailed for the captain's entertainment or so it is told. Truth be known the floating hulk reeks of burning hemp line and cheap rum and despite the tales spun about this Jamaican sloop no one can recall the last prize she took. As of late she has made birth at the Merry Caye harbor of the proclaimed pirate king and despite requests by the Island to anchor down windward, she has been stocking up for a voyage the crew has been keeping mum about, Focsle-shizzle. </p><br /><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

This is a much simpler Bermuda/Jamaican sail plan with minimal modifications: polystyrene sails, magnetic ratlines, removable flags to strike colors. I also lowered the Boom sail for ascetic value. I couldn't help the theme, it was low hanging fruit for a pun. It also rounds out 38 ships for the convention in Oklahoma City next week. <br /></p>Caveat Hucksterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14385680804533989148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605682174567376979.post-23286410560680480382023-06-21T14:47:00.000-07:002023-06-21T14:47:09.228-07:00The "Dirty Oar"<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />"Irish Dead Eye's are Smiling"<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT5zk7QsKQ0ZwjEtzqU3VbtoOS7Di4Z4Om1BNptAg7T-SyvvliQO0Iiskub7XPanYA-wG9Mnfs_y5xu5lXvnkVwJ3s_YtQk019RnkbKJoYxhi__zIpl9aWzZUmMJAFLjf5VvfCKvfjVUAMWHIdsBVlimNjDH3qf4G6c_syfVdKIn_dT9EUbzuc6sIH7dWh/s3558/IMG_5104.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2929" data-original-width="3558" height="263" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhT5zk7QsKQ0ZwjEtzqU3VbtoOS7Di4Z4Om1BNptAg7T-SyvvliQO0Iiskub7XPanYA-wG9Mnfs_y5xu5lXvnkVwJ3s_YtQk019RnkbKJoYxhi__zIpl9aWzZUmMJAFLjf5VvfCKvfjVUAMWHIdsBVlimNjDH3qf4G6c_syfVdKIn_dT9EUbzuc6sIH7dWh/s320/IMG_5104.JPG" width="320" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">With no tolerance of the Anglican settlement of their homeland many fine Catholic Irishmen put to sea either by poverty or pressed into service. It's no wonder that a spirited crew would seize a ship and set to terrorizing the merchant shipping of the English Crown. Ireland's History of Piracy is a undersold legacy that includes infamous pirates such as Anne Bonnie (<span>1697 – 1721</span>), Grace O' Malley <span>(1530 - 1603)</span>, William Burke (died 1699) and now <span>Jack Brannigan (2001- )<br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span>The "Dirty Oar" is a bit of an Enigma. Where most pirates will steal to survive, she and her crew are known to go to ludicrous efforts to just be destructive miscreants. The articles of Piracy composed by her crew start with the words: </span>"Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to Imbibe, Burn and Loot." A former midshipman explained the philosophy as "Look if we can't have a home with nice stuff, we're going to make sure no one else does either.

For the price it is the most complete kit you can get on the market at the lowest price point. I wanted to build the model as close to it's original factory configuration as possible but my need for a more ascetically pleasing finished product overtook me. The modifications I made include lowering the Boom for the aft rig, Adding Ratlines that are magnetic, cutting down the cart for a few of the cannons so they actually fit the gun ports, and adding sails and rigging. </p><p>If you are starting out in any 28mm Pirate gaming I recommend this model for simply the cost alone. It comes with many little optional parts to make several ships from the same model. <br /></p>Caveat Hucksterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14385680804533989148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5605682174567376979.post-33582006015420848242023-06-10T17:41:00.001-07:002023-06-10T18:29:11.436-07:00The Pirate's Ketch "Morass" <h3 style="text-align: center;"> If you want to plunder booty? </h3><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWVdt9O7MCm3QKRDFrX5wiDNWHqq-HaLfVGmNIQjbf2FCF8rPR8Ncwq1ovOCOolainn24iNPiEw5v-5JBTviw7uQ8dGtmn_7Dm7i5iFu9qhmlhktTGdpoEDqEcM0QPnxY20nySf2GLRR4zfmMztzQP_VOPg2DpXAvGfGci6o6UhbcQ61tHt1ENFAfMw/s3471/IMG_5054.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3471" data-original-width="1643" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMWVdt9O7MCm3QKRDFrX5wiDNWHqq-HaLfVGmNIQjbf2FCF8rPR8Ncwq1ovOCOolainn24iNPiEw5v-5JBTviw7uQ8dGtmn_7Dm7i5iFu9qhmlhktTGdpoEDqEcM0QPnxY20nySf2GLRR4zfmMztzQP_VOPg2DpXAvGfGci6o6UhbcQ61tHt1ENFAfMw/s320/IMG_5054.JPG" width="151" /></a></div>The Ketch Morass would be a priceless asset to any navy who could get hands on her deck, but when she raised the black on her first encounter, the unfortunate merchantman's captain was left in awe to what scalawag could assemble such a craft. Rarely do Bomb Ketches sail from European empires who prize their destructive potential but never to the water's of the new world. "They really have no use in the Caribbean." the betwixt governor of Nassau said after several ships reported her activities."Unless someone really has it in for blowing up sugar cane plantations or just plain hates aiming a cannon. Why Here? One salvo could burn a settlement to the ground."<p></p><p>This question has occurred to most of the appointed officials in the region with wild speculation and rumor swirling if it is a pirate vessel at all.

A little Back history: The <span style="font-weight: normal;">Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494</span> divided the "New World" into land, resources, and people claimed between Spain and Portugal. The meridian ran North and south <span class="ILfuVd" lang="en"><span class="hgKElc">345 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, off the coast of northwestern Africa. This conveniently placed most of the Caribbean, New World, and abundant natural wealth square in the hands of the Spanish empire. In 1630 a storm battered Caravel ran aground on a spit of sand west of Tobago leaving much of her ruin as a warning to passing seafarers. Cargo and crew long since assumed claimed by the waves, it was a complete mystery to both the Spanish and Portuguese Empires when a battered Naval ensign bearing the crown and shield of Lisbon was found aloft of a village 62 years after the wreck. Surrounded by mangrove trees and at its center a Jesuit mission, Laguna Matata's settlement is a cornucopia of escaped slaves, Portuguese decedents, the Indigenous people who took them in,Spanish renegades, and scoundrels.

Captained by Pierre Le Fue; a short man, shorter on temperament and, exhausted of patience or tolerance for savages of the Caribbean. Seemingly his reference to the English. Pierre refuses to take on crew not fluent in the only language fit for business: Langue <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="fr">française, and will not speak directly to any one not using his native tongue. Some speculate, other witnessed, many share the story of his violent outburst at the slips of Port Manteau when he flailed a harbor master for addressing him as "Peter Le Fue" Captain of the " Fuc' a Capuch'n". Since then the first mate, fluent in 17 different dialects acts as a translator, sometimes even in the port of Martinique where they speak French, but not to the satisfaction of Pierre. <br /></span><p></p><p><span class="Y2IQFc" lang="fr">The Phoque runs laden with cannon, and the order's to "Fue" rings out more often than the crew would prefer, sometimes even in port. Most of the seasoned crew wait for orders to filter through the officers before taking action.

text-align: center;">Fort Nicanville, considered a push over by most scalawags of the Caribbean has had a sorted past with some of the more colorful and eccentric entrepreneurs (Pirates & Smugglers) in the crystal blue waters of the Lesser Antilles. With a shallow harbor and windward island side location, trouble often is in town before anyone even realizes a ship sailed into the harbor. This has lead to a greater leniency to the customs and regulations of trade on the docks. Over the past 15 years the subsequent governors have set tariff to fund a harbor defense. In the beginning, colloquially called the Gov'nr's Cut, seem to mostly get channeled into a "Just in case we need a Ransom Fund", but surprisingly grew into a coffer as the expectations of a bastion laden fortress slowly and un-enthusiastically shrank to meet budget. Now nothing like the colossus of Rhodes, the French harbor battery emblazoned with the King's royal crest stands to thwart an angry fisherman or perhaps those Portuguese smugglers that insist of defecating on the wharf. <br /></div><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Guidelines:
for Square rigging the top of sail is slightly shorter than spar above
it and bottom of sail slightly shorter than spar below it. If it is the
course sail, the one right above the deck, keep in mind the gunwales,
the sails should just touch or hardly touch the tops of the rails. Use
Ruler to draw guide lines to mark the center of the sail and the sail
edges so you can trim the sail to shape.<b> <br /></b></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjyQqEzkOUKWylZrpkMUGBuobtKjyvsjDAC3e2BhQvWWCWWHGZ9WglZH6TpNBiyoThCi42o_1NaoG-MElhwhm5eETxBHXoLSbZChdQ0nF3RzjzpA1wNzPzaFMgxu4YTQ9iyuRjWfAjVAfG59ZieyponyZXJe6il7NLekfYjqh9VzPbAF-ymBD7WHujw/s4032/IMG_4806.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="270" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgpjyQqEzkOUKWylZrpkMUGBuobtKjyvsjDAC3e2BhQvWWCWWHGZ9WglZH6TpNBiyoThCi42o_1NaoG-MElhwhm5eETxBHXoLSbZChdQ0nF3RzjzpA1wNzPzaFMgxu4YTQ9iyuRjWfAjVAfG59ZieyponyZXJe6il7NLekfYjqh9VzPbAF-ymBD7WHujw/w203-h270/IMG_4806.JPG" width="203" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b> </b>Center of sail clearly marked</td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><b> </b>.</div><div><b><br /></b></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: auto; text-align: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="279" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHIr96syrq--_1lKQ8sEW-NMMsOArzjBjNZNDA1PuNbY6NPk3nPHJKhomkk4msYeK1lqqx8uqoWhaZ9O0yUtY-DrdbnFfZ-ZdTNlydboUQHo9Czb82rxQixz0G3LF63O4QYjV3Y_0pQJxdXiCKAQAqY1blUkjzHfbruAZN_Gkx9yT-D2ov3BW-wKfj0g/w209-h279/IMG_4821.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="209" /></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The Mizzen may be a Spanker like a Sloop or a lateen style like on a galleon.

It barely shows up in the picture but it puts some abrasions on the surface.

Model ship builders would be appalled by my decorative attempts to fancy up my gaming models to meet the historical accuracy of their meticulous work, but for gamers it is a way to make their models look better without spending a lot of money. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8aP9q1AGU7ufVQmfUrg_WwJIF2eBz0hc_wrHeBdK2NFVOOgm9B1-Rxjsm4PAjovkBIrDOmEL652MQhKZYdOWDUmTamckNb-s_dKVz1p0xXolYXh26fs5qVnZQySqmoYxftI9Y86nxmrTDnbKxy4vOJjF5gn7MAsTueNpFQ5xQZuYXisfjOBqwFG2lA/s259/dead_eye.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="259" data-original-width="194" height="259" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi8aP9q1AGU7ufVQmfUrg_WwJIF2eBz0hc_wrHeBdK2NFVOOgm9B1-Rxjsm4PAjovkBIrDOmEL652MQhKZYdOWDUmTamckNb-s_dKVz1p0xXolYXh26fs5qVnZQySqmoYxftI9Y86nxmrTDnbKxy4vOJjF5gn7MAsTueNpFQ5xQZuYXisfjOBqwFG2lA/s1600/dead_eye.jpg" width="194" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Making Dead Eyes is really easy. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What you need:</div><ol style="text-align: justify;"><li>Dowel Rod</li><li>Pin-vise Drill </li><li>Hobby Miter box & Saw</li><li>Sand paper</li><li>Pencil </li></ol><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg--hnq-pduOwik-Uliag9HJEpzE3P5y8ORiHn3N1PFqGr-vh3rocPPCYALCsKLXHYzjkkGNAkCzsgmMSsbaRjmPnMtOxuqPSAswdmZGgiEmjH-oZCJU-72HV09ro4YH4wAAqfEZLXsT8iwyqwH_2pb66XWSxLVLqoz8R6PnsRwSXzRx-NvnhOUEqotaA/s4032/IMG_4780.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg--hnq-pduOwik-Uliag9HJEpzE3P5y8ORiHn3N1PFqGr-vh3rocPPCYALCsKLXHYzjkkGNAkCzsgmMSsbaRjmPnMtOxuqPSAswdmZGgiEmjH-oZCJU-72HV09ro4YH4wAAqfEZLXsT8iwyqwH_2pb66XWSxLVLqoz8R6PnsRwSXzRx-NvnhOUEqotaA/s320/IMG_4780.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mark 3 dots on the end of a dowel rod.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZrfWDCtckIHnrfNkozRmK_mlFoKOp7LJ1F2F7yyoyTfeoXviBqBdsj115wDV7oiD1aU_nNFQcWI9z7aJIgM5cMmLDNuWtUFOsfEtSKa480gPgZd6hTPapEd65nmitvEouYjkeBbvvprn5ym7sFdMRiiZ4cSqrZBsAI8HQVHIWN6o_tsDjVtZbiVZVw/s4032/IMG_4779.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGZrfWDCtckIHnrfNkozRmK_mlFoKOp7LJ1F2F7yyoyTfeoXviBqBdsj115wDV7oiD1aU_nNFQcWI9z7aJIgM5cMmLDNuWtUFOsfEtSKa480gPgZd6hTPapEd65nmitvEouYjkeBbvvprn5ym7sFdMRiiZ4cSqrZBsAI8HQVHIWN6o_tsDjVtZbiVZVw/s320/IMG_4779.JPG" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Use a Pin-Vice to drill holes.

Her defiant christening was an Idea of the cargo company's book keeper who saw a deficit in recruiting sailors to serve aboard some of the more vulnerable short hall vessels in the Caribbean. With no extra coin to spend on cannon or careening, the company anointed the vessel with a name that would instill an undeserved confidence in her crew and hesitation to potential buccaneers with an inexpensive embellishment to her reputation. This has given her crew a bit of <em>sang-froid </em>attitude<em> </em>they really can't afford. After months of success, awe struck by the ship's fortune the company has almost bought into its own <em>trompe l'œil. "</em><em>Je ne sais quoi?" </em>exclaimes the Company's owner Jean Maurice de Toulouse, How long would they have lasted on board a ship called "<em>papier mâché" </em>No<em>? </em> <em></em><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

Ever since the episode of <i>Black Sails </i>where the Character Jack Rackham mentioned the word Piragua, I've been searching for a way to make one of these for FFOS a playable ship. After a little time looking around on the web and the release of a dug-out style boat by Firelock Games I decided to indulge in a little project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Blood & Plunder by Firelock Games has some handsome and quality products for starters. I purchased around a dozen of their ships and over time I will be posting some of their models with a little of my own modification, alterations, and hybrid hulls. This is the basic kit for a Piragua:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">A neat little kit but something about the style of sail bothered me. Then I got to thinking about my inspiration to FFOS, <i>Sid Miere's Pirates.</i>It<i> </i>had a huge<i> </i>impact on my creation of our convention game and I really liked his war canoe image design shown here:</span></span></div>

Combining the two resulted in this:</div>

<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">No convention going scalawag playing Fist Full of Seamen would ever consider this as a prize vessel. It's actually a problem with most of the ships from Firelock Games, most are tragically under gunned for our games. To remedy this for the Piragua I will be allowing the captain of this vessel to play three of these ships in a small flotilla to make them more inviting and raise the survival rate. </span></span></div>

Pirate hunters are
used in our games sparingly, if at all. </div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
Pirate hunters are
a mix of the other ship types with a few benefits from their roles and lacking
others. They have medium to smaller boats that are maneuverable and quick for
the pursuit of their prey. Pirate Hunters lack the ability to move to the pirate Island if
they leave the perimeter of the board and end up on Cannibal Island. Their ships tend to be well armed but
their hulls are smaller and less tolerant to damage. Their unique advantage is
that they receive 1 extra upgrade to their vessel. In example a class 3 pirate
hunting ship would get 4 upgrades instead of 3. This gives them a little more
edge over their opponents. For bounties the Pirate hunter gathers points like a
War Ship but instead of collecting honor beads they collect gold coins in the amount equal
to the ship’s value, the damage pips total on the ship’s record sheet. Bringing
a Pirate captain to a governor is worth $100 gold coins per skill level of the
captive. Thus a skill level 4 pirate is worth $400 gold. Smugglers have no
bounty value to a pirate hunter. Any cargo captured can be sold at market value
in any legal port. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">Pirate hunters purchase land grant cards to collect points to win, however if they capture a Pirate and can convince the pirate to forfeit his buried treasure cards those points count also. </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

the pirate once skirmish has broken out. The Pirates can’t fire guns (cannon),
swivel guns, or repel you. You enter Melee combat against the Pirate by adding
your crew to the current force opposing the pirates and use your skill level to
fight and defend if better that the merchant crew. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
The primary attraction
to the time period, playing a pirate isn’t as care free as you may think.
Pirates really have the odds stacked against them, limited safe harbors for
repairs and trading, smaller ships, generally under-gunned, and the deadliest ships
on the board are hunting you down. The actions of a good pirate captain are
counter intuitive to the people who for the most part want to play them. The
first thing that most pirate players want is to shoot a ship full of holes,
kill everyone on board and steal everything they can. I only speculate this is the
result of the societal conformity repression. This is short sited and bad for
the long game strategy. If you leave a ship adrift, take all their money and
goods, that ship is now effectively out of the game. Meaning it’s no longer a
viable source of income in the turns to come. Simply robbing them by grappling,
negotiating with the other captain for a mutually amicable settlement will
allow the merchant to continue operations as future prey. </div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: justify;">
Pirates have one advantage
over the law abiding ships, the ability to leave the perimeter and travel to
the secret pirate island. After two port actions, they may choose to return to any other
perimeter location. </div>

Spanish Treasure Galleon</h3>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The Spanish Treasure
Galleon is Hauling a 1000 points in Gold and is struggling against the
prevailing wind to make it from the corner of the board to the opposing side. There it can
escape to the Atlantic Ocean. If it does the captain is awarded 1000 acres in
the new world. This heavily armed treasure galleon is no match for a war-ship
but if it is clever it can slip away to freedom.</span>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Strategy:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">1) Never start into the
wind, which is the way you have to go. Start pointed at the french Island. If
you zig-zag you will move faster tacking across the tables. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">2) Never be afraid of
boarding, you have a bunch of marines and sailors.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">3) Blast anyone you see as
a threat. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">4) You have no safe harbor
for repairs so keep moving. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">5) Unless you capture
other ships and take gold you will only ever have 1000 points, so kill anyone
you suspect of being richer if the opportunity arises. Don't seek it out. </span></div>

<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">As the Spanish War
Ship your captain feels it is his moral obligation to return the Caribbean to
its divinely chosen original owners, The Catholics. And not those iffy French
Catholics! Your half crazed mission is to engage and destroy all non-catholic
ships, merchant, pirate, ghosts, cannibal, and those trespassing Protestants
warships. If a port gets sacked divine judgement has spoken. That
Treasure galleon is important to Spain, Si but you have a cephalic induced higher
purpose.</span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Strategies: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">1) you really aren't
worried about politics, you just want to sink everyone but the Spanish and
Portuguese. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">2) You have no home port
but reestablishing any other port as a loyal Spanish colony is a good start.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">3) Your ship has
devastating firepower out to 36 inches. It maneuvers like a bath tub.
Watch for raking. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">4) Don't turn into the
wind, unless you have no other choice.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">5) Use Cannibal Island as
a turnaround if you need to. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">6) As a crazed religious
zealot gold means little to you so sinking stuff is your only option for honor.
