(...) You spelled inaccurate wrong. :-) Besides, why do you care about this, one way or the other? You don't even play the game much, do you? After all, it doesn't use purple Bionicle pieces much. Frank has put a lot of time and energy into (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Nope. No real hard and fast rules. In a campaign game, I occaisionally (like less than once per game) sail a ship out that perhaps doesn't have a full complement of cannon, and has a light crew. (...) No, but I do require players put all their (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) It depends partly on your reason for doing so. Using a smaller unit would allow you to play a "larger" game field in a small, confined space. A 4-stud unit is to a 4' playing space as a 3-stud unit is to a 3' playing space. Well, other than (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) They're a lot more common than almost any other shape of brick, and they're logically a little easier to build rulers with, but if the rules stipulate that units are measured in inches, and don't also stipulate that 1"=4 studs, it seems a bit (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

Here are a few question I still have about the pirate game. 1.) I've noted no real hard rules for merchant ships in the rules. 2.) Do ship models really have to be able to hold the cargo they carry? 3.) Does anyone have a picture of mast island? I (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Yes. I've found that having 2 basic sizes will serve you well - a relatively long range (say about 20 inches or so) per player or (less preferable) pair of players, made of 2x4s, with 4-5 layers of bricks/plates so that it's pretty sturdy. Use (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) I'm not looking for any specific outcome. Thinking about it, it might be cool to use LEGO to measure ranges and such. I measured a 2x4 last night and it was 1 1/4 inches, so it's not that far off. I just wanted to know what the deal with them (...) (21 years ago, 20-Apr-04, to lugnet.pirates)

(...) Everything else in the game is made out of LEGO. It's not really a matter of "appeal". one "inch" is *by definition* 4 studs.
