![]() ![]() Hardly a surprise, I'm sure, but I decided to use a variation of one of my UPS fleets. I've been futzing around with this thing for a week, and it's not what I'd call perfect but what the heck. |

Great Fleet! Just not legal by the challenge rules. If you shifted the Soul Mark to one of the other ship's and maybe used Ahura Mazda, or a similar ship, this might have been fast enough to win.

What is Soul Mark for? I know this fleet is old, but the Cry doesn't have space for gold with the equipment.
Since Captain Jack links, the Cry has 5 total spaces. 4 are taken up by crew per Jonah's ability text. This would leave one space available before adding Soul Mark. Is this correct? |

Ugh. Been awhile... yes, Jack Sparrow is linked to Banshee's Cry, so that adds another cargo space for him. I don't recall exactly why I added Soul Mark, but I think I was one point short of the total...? I had room for it, and my thinking was if I get shot at even once, the whole fleet stops working, and I'm pretty much sunk. So... parley means I lose a coin, but it might also give me a chance to survive another turn. I think this was for a specific Fleet Challenge, so there may have been some rules requiring equipment? Or maybe I was just trying out equipment to see how it worked. If your opponent does not have any Cursed ships, then you can use the Hag of Tortuga to bring in an appropriate Letter of Marque and swap it for Soul Mark. The basic idea was keep moving away and redocking with Banshee's Cry, and use Jack Sparrow to transfer the gold from the island directly to the Bonnie Liz. I don't think any gold ever gets loaded onto the Banshee's Cry, unless you lose some crew to a bad UT or a crew-killer, and then I guess you could try dumping everybody off, load up on treasure, and race for home... which Banshee's Cry was already pretty good at to begin with. However, there was a change in the rules on how treasure is unloaded on your home island, so I'm not sure this fleet works the same way. I never got a chance to playtest it, so I'm not sure if this works the way I think it does. |

OK, that makes sense now, thanks. I've been thinking about Captain Jack's ability all wrong this whole time - I didn't even realize that the gold was never even loaded. So you can teleport gold home with a ship that has a full cargo hold without having to sail it back? ![]() ![]() I was just searching through the old forum posts for past fleet challenges. I was amazed by the old Ocean Building contests! I just wish I had joined this forum earlier. ![]() |

This fleet was involved in a game!
This is some fleet! There are definitely a few things in this fleet that could be changed, such as Sunken Treasure and Pedro (see the report for details). However, this fleet is very complicated and interesting to play! ![]() |

This fleet has gone 4-1 in VASSAL Tournament #2 to advance to the semifinals! (The fleet is now 5-1 overall)
It will be very interesting to see how it matches up against UPS 2, since by coincidence this fleet hasn't faced a normal fleet yet (3-0 against two different HMS GT deathmatch-oriented fleets, and 2-1 against a relatively similar USS Kettering fleet). |

The T2 semifinals have begun with record scoring! This fleet tied its own record with a whopping 37 gold collected in a single standard game!

After losing in VASSAL Tournament #2, this fleet's record is now 7-5. Still an absolutely incredible fleet and gave eventual champion UPS 2 a serious run for its money. (literally)
