I was going to change my fleet to this exact same set up!!! But I came to point where the ships would probably not be able to catch the other gold runners! So I don't think you will do too well

but that's just my opinion it work great and I could look like loser

or it could crash and burn

I just don't know

How is the Stinkpot free? I counted up the points, and could've sworn I got 45 without the specialist. Either way, good to see a Viking fleet, although it will probably be harder to win with. If you could sink all their ships, then you would win (with the extra amount going to the attacker rule), but if even one treasure runner got in you would lose. Good for the Vikings, though

. 4 for now.

I thought the same thing about the Stinkpot.

I just decided that the site was the one to go by. Oh well.

I am content with it the way it is.

I realize it will be harder to win but winning isn't out of the question. This is fleet is the biggest threat against some of those half and half fleets. I can practicly run over a solid gunship fleet. The only difficulty comes when woelf's fleet. My only chance is to get to the HI and blockade it. Even IF one treasure runner gets through I can still win. It is very unlikly that 1 ship with 4 cargo has 16 points onboard. That would mean they would have to all be 4's or up. Not that likly.

If you read the discription, I said that my plan was NOT to chase the gold runners. I plan to let them come to me in a sense.

Look at it this way. I can outgun most of the gunships out there in this challenge. I may not be the fastest but just the sight of my fleet will strike fear into the heart of my opponent.

I like that you did Vikings. Always a hard nation to play.
I'm very glad that I chose the Tiger's Eye as my gunship. She's faster than either of your ships, and the Muninn (spell check) can't shoot her

This is is a good fleet with a huge amount of firepower. However, the speed and the fact that there are only two ships will cost you. I rate it a 4.

I'm wondering why I didn't vote on this one - the "shoot-move-shoot" with the Munnin doesn't work without an extra action - but I don't think that was it. Must've forgot, sorry.

2.8 for lots of firepower.

It's nice to see Vikings being attempted, and this would do well in a deathmatch game, but it falls very short in a standard game because you have no treasure-running capability whatsoever.

Blockades sound great in theory, but they almost never work as well as one would hope - and that's assuming you can even get it set up before at least one opposing runner makes it back home with a load of treasure. As soon as that happens, or a ship sneaks through, it's all over for you. Getting the odd amount when you sink a ship doesn't count for anything when you're already way behind in the total.

You do have some very nice firepower, but that's not going to win a treasure game by itself.

Overall I'll give this a 3.14 - you'll be able to do a lot of damage, but unless you get insanely lucky it won't be enough win the game.

I don't get the 2.8 thing, but oh well.

Thanks for catching the "shoot-move-shoot" thing. I forgot that it wasn't a MOVE action. That won't work. I don't think I need it to work any ways. Thanks for you comment and you vote.

I know that I will have to get really lucky but I was just testing out something new. I don't expect to win with this, but since most of the other good combos were taken I decided to try something different and see how it makes out. Thanks for your comment and you vote. I really appreciate them.
