moment.  I suppose I could scrounge together another 10 or so classes.  My ship
buying has come to a complete halt - I doubt I could transport the entire fleet
all at once.  I just acquire parts as convenient for customizing.  Oh, I'll
pick up a 2nd BSB if the price is right, and a SES one of these days, but if I
do, I'll probably sell off a RBR.

Yea, fleet transportation will be a problem. So will shelf space. If I
get everything built, I may star to decide to thin out my collection. I
suspect I may end up dispensing with many of the lines on the larger
ships as it would be a lot easier to pack them by de-masting them.

I don't have the 600 crew needed for all those ships unless I draft a couple of
hundred castle figures, but I've laid in spare morions, scarf-hats, and
tricorns along with weapons.  There's something satisfying about a trio of
pirate cutters crewed by Wolfpack figures.  I pick up the odd pirate lot of
figures, but I'm concentrating more on acquiring castle figs (more
transportable).  I don't need 30 actual castles to game with.  :-)

I may use some castle figs in my Pirate gaming, but probably don't have
much need (in my last figure sorting, I removed the town figures with
horizontal striped shirts because it didn't look like I'd be needing
them any more).
