Great Fleet! I understand about when you came up with yours. No problem. As long as they aren't identicle.

I like how you "run" gold. You could win with that, but I am not sure. Your gunship is the way to go. Both speed, cannons, and ability.

Overall, a solid 3.8

I like what you did here, but for pure cost effectiveness Sleipnir and Hjildskjalf (spell check) just can't keep up with other treasure runners. Also, Huginn is too slow to take down most enemy gunships.
Are you sure you've got enough forts

Overall, I'm glad that you used Vikings. But a gunship moving at L+S and the gold runners with high points and low cargo don't sell it for me. 3.5

Very good, for a Viking fleet. Your gunship is a beatstick that's going to be a serious threat to anything that can't knock all of it's masts off with a first strike. Your pair of runners should be able to bring at least a little bit home, even if they'll quickly fall behind most others that will be out collecting goods.

Hope for a big score with that first island and you've got a fair chance of winning with this one, although some of the other fleets out there may end up running circles around these ships. The forts could be a lifesaver for you, although you probably didn't need to list them all - the two or three most likely to get used would have been enough (presumably Paradis de la Mer or Fortaleza Dorada would be the first choice, depending on what else was on the table.)

Overall, a 4.2 - Excellent use of what was available to the Vikings, but just short of being a top tier fleet.

Haha, yes, I think I was trying to make the point that the Vikings have their choice of forts when they first build one - it was one of the few saving graces they had for the challenge.

Man, it is tough sledding to get Fleet of the Week - what was that, over a year and a half? And all 4's, too, like I always say, it just goes to show you don't need 5's to win this thing.

Well, to all those who voted, "May the wind be in yer sails!"

That's a nice feeling - to come back in after 3 weeks and see a Viking Captain on the homepage. They were hard enough to get when PotFN came out, so it's like credit long overdue.
