Miniature Trading

Now, I have a very limited ammount of miniatures for my fleet, so I dont have many options. But using this 39-point fleet(I will explain later), I have decimated my freinds. I plan on testing it in a torney this april.

Now, the real linebacker in this fleet is the flying dutchman. Now, with a base move of S, he is not that good, but pair him up with a helmsman, John Paul Jones(for the extra action) and wayne nolan(to re-roll for missing the action), you can move 4S and still pound an enemy. Because of its impressive cargo space, it can hold a giant crew, and the crew it uses is many people combined. So, my total crew for it is John paul jones, wayne nolan, Hermoine Gold(ROTF), and Tabatha Mcwarren. Now, what I did not mention before with my crew was that Tabatha comes at a cheap 3 points and lets you put the cheap crew of other nation aboard. Hermoine has the captains ability, and the helmsman together, so she can save you a cargo space if you find anything useful on an island.

A great thing about the dutchman's cannons is that in the best case, you move s, move s, fire broadsides(destroy a ship) move s, move s, and fire again. This works great for taking out 2 ships in 1 turn, putting a great setback on the opponets fleet.

Now, my second ship in this fleet is the pirate-nation coral. Coming in at 7-points makes it very good for the S+L movement and the 3 cargo spaces it has.But also, with this ship comes my most humiliation secret. The only thing that would make this 39-point fleet a perfect fourty, would be to put a pirate explorer on the coral, which I do not have. Sad, is it not? I know I know! It is very sad to not have a pirate explorer, but I am not your top-notch collector, you know! The ability of the coral means alot though. Not being able to be fired apon during docking means being able to hide from big ships and not interuptions while loading cargo.

But back to the fleet. This fleet is great for using the dutchman to take many battle roles at once, and the coral to speed to islands and grab treasure. For all the times I have used this fleet(3-times)I have never lost.

Pros-
Battleship of many roles
Semifast treasure ship with average cargo
Battleship with broadsides and 5 2L cannons

Cons-
battle ship cannot hit ships with" this ship cannot be hit with L-range cannons" ability.
No events.
vurnurable to events
vurnable to dragons on treasure boat

Overall Overall, I give this fleet a 6/10 because it has not many weaknesses, but my favorite fleet. The lower number is because of my lack for a pirate explorer, which should be included in here, I just dont own one.
