My only comment is that there might be a better value than using a captain + broadside character when your guns are rank 3. However, you still have the Hag's build points so it might not be necessary. Having never used Duel in a game before it would be interesting to hear how this fleet plays out for you.

I have used it twice in multiplayer, and once in one on one. This fleet has never lost.

This fleet was an expirement in the use of Duel, and I chose Flores because of his cost and abilities.

I have sunk 2 five masters with the broadsides, one was held with mermaids, the other because I got the jump by exposing the helmsman after he thought he was safe enough distance away.

Duel has removed a SAC Captain, and a 5/6 extra action crew, thus removing the multi turn advantage from my opponents. We have determined that mult turns are a sure game winner, barring bad luck dice or poor form.

For a 40 point fleet, the Deliverance and two runners is very hard to stop. Using events appropriate to control the flow based on your opponents fleets is the other main key here. The other thing is that I never bring the Deliverance out of ghost mode.

This fleet was designed around the Duel Event. I wanted to use a crew that had a higher point cost than the SAC Captains and the 5/6 extra action crews. Flores was the most useful for the price.

The other key was to keep it a 40 point fleet, so going for a more expensive one was not really an option either.

Is there a reason you picked Geoffery Flores? You almost waste the hit with Broadsides on a 5 master, unless you plan on outright sinking or are facing a 6 master.

Now this is all just my opinion, what you have is fine. I'm just saying if it was me I would use SCS Calico Cat for the Reroll potential.

My opponents tend to have one or two fivemasters in the game. There are times when I need them gone, and the 50/50 chance is worth it.

I often use Mermaids against that scenario, which give the Deliverance ample opportunity to send the boats to Davy.

Hey, if the strategy works, do it. My dice rolls are usually horrendous hence why I coose a reroll over broadsides.
