But it also would give the cutters an advantage in getting to the treasure (...)   (22 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates)

Frank, do you make everyone empty their pockets after a game ends? Just curious. (...)   (22 years ago, 1-May-04, to lugnet.gaming, lugnet.pirates)

  |  I wouldn't go with the draft idea, unless it was minimal. If anything, I'd say class minus three inches. This would make big ships use boats, but allow cutters to pull right up next to the islands. Ports would of course be deep enough for anything (...)

  |  (URL) Hello! I'm Wes Davis, a fellow AFOL. In 2002, I started buying pirate legos, starting with two 6285 sets and one 6286. I'd promised myself I'd buy these ships (which I'd always wanted growing up) and now that I had the means, I went for it. (...)

  |  Several responses on this thread... As far as draft: As Larry mentions, at least in the games I run, the seas are crowded with islands, so having shallow water extend out several inches would really be a hassle. Also, without actually marking the (...)   (22 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming)

Once you add another cannon, your ship counts as the next higher class for (...)   (22 years ago, 29-Apr-04, to lugnet.gaming)
