Fleet "Captain_Arrr's Fire and Steel" - 40 Points (standard format) show extended format
created by captain_arrr Premium Member 

This Fleet is my submission for the Fire and Steel contest. It is a completely different turn than the other submissions, but it should prove to be interesting.

It is pretty much an English fleet except for the Arrogant. And it is VERY offensive.

Everything revolves around the HMS Ram which is carrying Lord Mycron. The Ram's job is pretty much to give the rest of the fleet extra actions and never leave the HI. It is pretty costly, but for that cost I am guaranteeing an extra action for either ship in my entire fleet. And it is not based on rolls at all!

I took the HMS Apollo because she is linked to Thomas Gunn and for her S+S base speed. It is the best you can get with Fire and Steel if you don't take the San Pedro of the Augusta or the Freedom's hand. But she has the capability of going S+S+S+S with Lord Mycron! The Oarsman is my insurance, since the Apollo is the ship that will be getting into fights. With 3 cargo hold available, she will also be running treasure, advancing to the more hostile WI.

The Arrogant will be my devoted treasure runner. She moves S+S base which is nice and she's only 5 points, a bonus in a fleet with few points leftover. But I plan on having her move S+S+S+S again with the help of Mycron. Plus enemy ships need 2 hits to eliminate her mast, which is an ability that might come in handy!

Cool. Before I continue--one thing to change: You have Lord Mycron Story listed instead of Lord Mycron crew. Its an interesting strategy, confusing your opponents by revealing a story card, but I don't think it'll work in the long run.

So far, I'm seeing a huge positive like for Lord Mycron. He is pretty powerful and for only 6 points. I'd say his power matches that of the real Davy Jones (not the Disney squid-face, but the DJC and OE). Except its not a sure thing something will happen.


This is a definitely powerful fleet, and well balanced. Be sure to change out the story and its an A+.
