  Pirate fleets
 
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)
 
  Re: 6289 vs 6290 What's the difference?
 
(...) Related question: Are shooting cannon one piece, two, or three? And if they're more than one, has the piece count simply been ported over to US sets (even though they're not printed on the Euro boxes)? Alternately, perhaps the way that (...) (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

  Re: 6289 vs 6290 What's the difference?
 
I just inventoried a MISB 6289 and a MISB 6290. The only difference (aside from different cloth used for the sails) was that the 6290 used a black 1 x 10 plate and a black 1 x 2 hinge plate with 2 fingers in place of the black 1 x 10 technic plate (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Ranks
 
(...) Hmm... this might depend on the era you're talking about. If you're talking about modern Navies, Rick's got it on the nose. If you're looking at the Age of Sail, things are a bit different... I'm not fully brished up on Royal Navy (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Ranks
 
(...) The ranking systems are basically the same for all navies around the world. You have two different 'classes', if you will, in a Navy: Officer and Enlisted. For the officers it goes like this (from lowest Officer rank to highest rank): Ensign (...) (23 years ago, 3-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

  I've got some imperial soldiers for sale again!
 
Hello, all! Since me last buyer turned out to be a complete deadbeat, I've decided to post the blue imperial soldier minigigures again. If you don't know, they are the type of soldiers you'd find in the late 80's, early '90's sort of sets and they (...) (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

  Re: Pirate Names
 
I had to lie through my teeth to get this, but that's ok :-) Your pirate name is: Iron Tom Rackham A pirate's life isn't easy; it takes a tough person. That's okay with you, though, since you are that person. You have the good fortune of having a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates)

  Re: Pirate Names
 
Arrrrgh, my pirate name be "Bloody James Kidd". The really eerie thing about this is that when I was little and in the process of getting into trouble, I can recall hearing my dad ask my mom "What's that bloody kid up to now?" :-) Andrew, aka (...) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates)
 
  Re: Pirate Names
 
(...) Arrggghhh. I's smells a conspiracy. My name be "Captain Jack Roberts". I sound more like a Captain from the Armada than a pirate. ;) (23 years ago, 27-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates)

  Re: Pirate Names
 
(...) Every pirate is a little bit crazy. You, though, are more than just a little bit. You're musical, and you've got a certain style if not flair. You'll do just fine. Arr! thanks, "Mad James Cash" (23 years ago, 26-Oct-01, to lugnet.pirates)
