I have a ton of these ships for POTSM... its fun... however you would have to
build ships certain sizes and stuff and fire from the masts to do it using
lego... plus you would have to find a stardard firing distance and so on.... I
think evil stevies rules are vastly superior anyway... It makes for a much
better game. Plus, Steve Jackson puts out way better quality games then
Wizkids... but thats just my opinion. In fact, i believe that wizkids might have
had a good look at his game before desinging their card game... anyway if you
could find a good conversion rate it would make for a very fast paced lego war
game... and in this day and age of ADHD, that may be better. lol.
