Predictably I was seduced by the glossy pictures in the book lol

No way, the illustrations are horrible, plain old horrible. Some of the pictures of the miniatures are nice, but the book would have benefited from some more proffessionally made illustrations.
But the rules them self are nice, and much better than one would think, even if they lack a bit, especially the campaign rules, they are sad. The sailing rules are a bit wonky as well.

Better suggestion for what if I might ask? Do you mean the campaign rules or the sea warfare rules? If I had better, I wouldent have bought this book :-P

We found the ship to ship combat a bit stale - especially the fiddly boarding rules. Moving figures an inch apart on a 6 inch wide ship with cannons in the way is NOT fun or easy. We came up with our own house rules on ship to ship, but the boarding was a real issue we never beat.
