Just a question, but how big are some of the pirate fleets out there? And is there anybody in the Washington DC area that wargames with ships ( Evil Stevie's pirate game? )? I'm up to about 30 some odd craft with 7 or so Schooner size or above. I (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

No-- sadly I wasn't able to attend BrickFest. I've been lurking in the shadows for a few years now, but most of that time was spent overseas in Japan. While an excellent opportunity to build my collection, it was a bit of a drawback in terms of (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) So far we've been playing the campaign game variant where folks start with a cutter. I've been doing some thinking about how to start with larger ships or get them into play faster. I like the additional role playing of the campaign game, but (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
