Great game guys! Is that the exact game that's going to BLAM?

I'll keep hawl every one of you swabs, here be the truth of it!

Is that the dry land version? I imagine that hurts a wee bit more than keel hawl! ;) :D

What REALLY makes this game pop, is, to my eye, the many bits and bobs covering the table.

Beautiful terrain: Yes. Beautiful minis: Yes. But the civilians, carts, barrels, etc. makes the board come alive!

Yes it is, but I can't remember the code, I just bought a selection of tricorn wearing figures of different nationalities, and painted them all up as redcoats. So he's probably a French or Spanish figure or something  :)

Fantastic report(s), tho' no one will ever figure out which one is the correct rendition of what happened on that day!! Truth-stretchers and the sort will only ever tell it the way they can to sound the more victorious. Harr Harr!!

Well done, and thanks for the tale....

It looks like you did red bases for the pirates and brown for the townfolks.
I like that.  That will cut down the confusion in HTH situations...
Nicely done all around!

The figures are from different collections, the Pirates from Captain Blood and the civilians from Silent Invader.
