So essentially, this fleet doesn't work anymore, as Nemesio Diaz had been previously errata'd to have the same ability and Lenoir and all other subsequent cancelers.

So, this fleet is pretty much based upon the premise of the double cancel.

Did an enemy gunship just declare a shoot action on you? Canceled. Did they just cancel it back? Cancel that.

Then blast them.

Actually heard during the game against my brother:

Brother: "Okay, so my Soleil Royale fires on your El Alma."
Me: "El Alma cancels your captain."
Brother: "Okay...I cancel El Alma's ability with Lenoir."
Me: "Nemesio Diaz cancels your cancel of my cancel."
Brother: "Wait...what?"

Got my SAT roll next turn, and the Soleil Royale wasn't doing too hot, let me just put it that way.

El Alma, not the greatest ship in the world, but can move S+L+S+L if I'm lucky. Only has 3 masts, too.
La Santa Isabel runs treasure with 4 available cargo slots, moving S+L+S, and giving +2 to one gold I unload. She can also fight, if necessary.
Also, I included Blood Money, because if it doesn't hurt me, then why not add it?

    I really don't know it thats legal. And if it is, it shouldn't be legal. I guess its OK if you're playing with friends or at home, but I know some hardcore venue players that would wait for you in the parking lot and geek you to death.

    However, it is an interesting strategy and the cannons on El Alma are perfect for that. You can never go wrong with Santa Isabel, though some combo with Joya del Sol may be pretty beneficial too.

    Pretty cool, vlad. Spanish as always.

    Wait, do you think that it's broken? It doesn't seem THAT bad.

    I was thinking about using La Joya de Sol instead, but I wouldn't know what to do with the 1 point that I have, extra.
