Davey Crocketts locker? Looking good, must dust my scurvy knaves off. Which rules do you use?

 lol

We played Legends of the High Seas for the first time, never played them before, they were fun but I am sure there are sets around that are perhaps even better.

Aaaaaaarrgh! Harr-harrrr. None too shabby shipmate, although I am alarmed to see ships with SAILS! All mine have bare masts for playability. Now I feel inadequate  :'(

And RIGHT in front of the Christmas tree too!

How did you do the water?

Looks like a fun game!

The water is a 5mm MDF sheet painted a mixture of dark/light blues and lots of coats of gloss vacht varnish.

Shiver me timbers, that's a grand looking game.

The cork terrain is so effective, especially strewn with the foliage like that. And another vote for the yacht-varnished sea board.

Did the pirates also ransack the teddies on the Malamute mantlepiece?  ;)
