Gee, I think just about everyone is willing to GM...

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.
