Sharrr!

I have an RBR derivative called the Wraith mounting 3 cannon per side, 1 swivel

I have one I could bring but I'll need to figure out how to pack it up. It's a 32x32
baseplate from Pirates Perilous Pitfall with a fort mounting 4 cannon plus a 32x16
plate attached for the docks.

A hankie for all of the lubbers I send to Davy Jones' Locker! Arrr!

My plans right now are to travel Saturday morning so my ETA will be between 10 am
and 12 noon on Saturday. But don't wait up for me.

Is that a 2 center section ship or larger? Are the stern chasers under
the poop deck? The game doesn't particularly deal with stern chasers,
but I'd consider allowing a ship to have two stern chasers in place of
one regular cannon. The ship will have a lesser ability to fight ships
to the side or ahead, but would have a superior capability to fire to
the rear.
As a class 6 ship this could actually have one more cannon (the way
Steve runs the game, broadside firing cannon can be used on either side
- I see no problem with the actual model having cannon for both sides,
but when a cannon is hit, a pair would be destroyed, and you can only
fire each pair once per turn).

Sounds like a nice fort. If we set up before you get there (most
likely), I'll just chose a location and have it surrounded by a storm
until you arrive...

Sounds fine. Since I really want to do something along the lines of the
campaign game, players can drop in at any time...

I'll have to go throught he rules a bit, i think. The Wraith is a Class 6, two center
sections. Therefore, if I remove my redundant broadside cannon I have 6, which includes
the 2 stern chasers. I defer to the GM, of course, but we can discuss it at the Fest.

I will attempt a new land speed record...
Thanks Frank,

I just received communication from Steve about stern chasers. He had
them in an early version of the game, but they ended up just being a
hassle. So let's not deal with that, but if you don't want to re-build
your ship to add another broadside cannon, we can just count the
sternchasers as a single broadside cannon. Also no real need to remove
the redundant cannon (like I said before, we just need to destroy them
in pairs).

Try not to get a ticket...
