Mike, Will give your scenario a go this weekend. My group out here in Tucson, AZ is getting ready for our annual BIG Pirate game in November. So this will be a good play to get the juices flowing. Every year its always the same crap of finding a good set of rules for both land and sea battles. Well I found you guys, so Blood & Plunder will be the rules for the BIG game. Oh, BTW if you're out in this area after turkey day, let me know...we'll get you in the game. Thanks again.
