Salutations, I just finished attending Egygtian Campaign Gaming Convention in Carbondale, IL this past weekend. I gamemastered twenty plus hours of pirate wars and my fellow pirates and I had a blast. I also tried my hand at BrikWars with mixed (...)

(...) I'm with you on the not complaining thingie. Actually, any brown hull is a good one for me. But like Michael, I'm in favour of bases. I reckon I'd be out there happily lapping up 6074s too, however for me, the Yellow Castle would be best. I (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)

I would prefer to see the Lego Company come out with the 6286 Skull's Eye Schooner. I have 3 of the 6285 Black Seas Baracudas, but I was not able to get the Schooner. Also, I would also like to see a re-release of the 6271 Imperial Flagship as I (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-02, to lugnet.pirates)
