i'm planning of a crew mixing eureka pirates as janissaries , and wargames foundry and pontoonier miniatures ( if i can get an answer from newline design  ) as sailors .

i don't know if i keep those guns for a future 'fregate légère" model and use some remaining flagship guns i have in stock on the chebeck


the amati guns seem's more post 1700 european naval guns , and will work on a privateer or military european ship .

Man that is lookin' cool.  While I abandoned my own Pirate project a while back...I'm hoping to convince my buddies to consider Pirate skirmishes so I can simply build up a small crew and a scratch-built ship.  Love the result you got.
