Miniature Trading

General description:
This is one of the spookiest ships in the game... the legendary Flying Dutchman! It's a beefy five-master that, while lacking in the speed department, has the best cannons possible!

Uses:
This is a gunship. I repeat: a gunship. Use this to sink your opponents' ships with no mercy. Did I mention it's a gunship?

Strategies and game play:
The Broadsides Attack ability on this ship is amazing since it hits on a 2. No other ship with the Broadsides Attack ability so far has better than 3 for its cannons. Think about it... you have a 66% change of making a six-masted junk derelict with one roll! Definitely use this bad boy to engage your enemy and sink them.

Combos with other miniatures:
This ship is made to be used with Davy Jones himself. It's an expensive combo, though, at 28 points. Yikes!

Ways to counteract it:
The best way to counteract the Flying Dutchman is to run away from it, which isn't too hard considering it has a base move of S.

Strengths/Pros:
Successful Broadsides Attack accomplished on rolling higher than 2.

Weaknesses/Cons:
Slower then molasses uphill in January.

Artwork and aesthetics:
Like most of the "Cursed" ships it's really purdy.

Overall rating:
I give the Flying Dutchman a lowly 6 out of 10. It's got an awesome ability but it really needs good crew with multiple actions to make it effective because it's so darn slow.
