| (...) 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.

| Hello, (...) Shooting cannon is one piece; although you can divide it into few smaller parts, but after that, the cannon will be useless :) (...) As far as I know, 6290 is unavaible in Europe. But I can be wrong, of course. Bye, (23 years ago, 4-Nov-01, to lugnet.pirates)

| 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)
