Fleet "Brit 40 pt gold hunter fleet" Help
Fleet "Brit 40 pt gold hunter fleet" - 60 Points (extended format) show standard format
created by marc_g 

15pts HMS Oxley………………..2 masts down per hit………..3 cargo…Long(plus short from Hermione)
05pts Hermione Gold(RotF)…….move&shoot AND +S move…1
03pts Sir Christopher Mings……same action x2 on 5/6……….2
00pts Cameron/Cabin Boy………reveal to add a 2pt crew from outside the game…3…repl w/shipwright

23pts.......This is the main battleship, able to engage larger ships, with the aid of Mermaids, and take them out. It is especially deadly with Christopher Mings for only 3 extra points!

2pts HMS Frolic(2 mast, no L guns can hit)……..2 cargo…..Long and Short
-5pts Administror Scott Bradley: adds +5 pts to build availability

-3pts......Frolic is a great little skiff for harassing big ships with only long range guns. I love driving opponents crazy harassing their monsters from behind with a "little yappy dog" Adding Bradley here is just fitting him where he will not be in the way

Total so far: 20 pts

09pts HMS Half Moon(2 masts, steal treasure from ships she touches)….5 cargo…..Short + Short
06pts…The Gentleman (Move + shoot, 1 re-roll per turn)

15pts....This is a gold hunter with acceptable speed given Oxley will penetrate and kill enemy gold hunters. The Half Moon has guns and the Gentleman in the event my opponent ignores Oxley and hunts my treasure ship. But her holds are deep enough to hunt the high value coins out there. If need be, Frolic can harass the enemy battleship and keep it off the Half Moon

35 points so far


And at last, the strategy items:
02pts Favor of the Gods.....to protect my ships from unwanted events
03pts Mermaids.......to pin the enemy battleship for the kill

5 pts

40 points total....

I have not looked at unique treasures that might compliment this fleet yet and would love to hear what you have to say?

    That's a nice fleet! You can get better things for 15 points than HMS Oxley but use of Frolic here is great!
    Keep up the good work

    actually,

    I was working with a faulty spreadsheet
    It turns out that the HMS Frolic costs 12 points, not 2

    So the fleet is actually a 50 pt fleet.

    Why don't you like Oxley?

    The fleet building software is calling this a 60 point fleet, so you might need to check your math.

    The Oxley only has 4 pt. cannons, so you'd do better with the HMS Titan (5 2pt cannons) with it's built in extra action than with the Oxley and Myngs, and you'd end up saving a point.

    Also, I'd put the Gentleman on the ship with the extra action or SAT, so you can use the reroll for another shot at that 5 or 6.

    I'd think about using the Aberdeen Baron with no captain rather than the Moon. It's big with a built in explorer and plenty of cargo space.
