The basic job of the war ships on
the board is to bring Pirates and smugglers to justice in times of peace and dispatch with extreme predigest hostile war ships, capture ports and seize merchants in times of
War. It sounds blood thirsty but it's a difficult way to earn points in a
twenty round game. We know it so you have the most ridiculous ships on the
table.
Strategy:
1) In Peace time, patrol the areas
along the board side but remain at max range from the perimeter edge. Remember by quantity of guns
alone you have better odds of hitting ships coming on the board than others do
you.
2) In a pinch use Cannibal
Island as a fast turn around. Cannibals don't generally attack a war
ship.
3) It's always better to capture
than destroy. Killing a Pirate or smuggler means you can't capture them
twice for points.
4) the Spanish are always your
enemy. How ever taking on both the treasure galleon and War galleon is a deadly
threat for any one ship.
5) Pointing your bow or stern to a
board edge is a good way to have a small ship sink you with a Rake.
6) Sacking a town in a time of war
should be coincided. Most war ships are very capable of taking a town.
7) all repairs are free in your home
port, always remain in the best working order.
