Ahoy, Me Hearties!

I bet y’all are curious as to why I summoned you on deck for a wee gathering and mingling. 

Well, it has come to me attention ye carousers are… how shall I put it… not amused with our most recent exploits. I smell the reek of mutiny infesting the lower decks…
So here I am, your very own, humble Captain: 

• Are you not entertained?

• Didn’t I treat you well? 

• Was it the abundancy of grog?

• The brimful barrels filled with tobacco?

• The caring warmth of a bewitched siren while on shore leave?

• Or my generosity of splitting the booty fair and square? 

Enlighten me senses: 

Is this all you signed up for? Is this the pirate life as you imagined it would be?

I challenge y’all: which of you landlubbers dares to speak of mutiny and spill your own captain’s blood to seize control over this ship? 

Draw your cutlass right now or walk the plank and rest your pitiful existence in silence at the bottom of the seas…

Let me repeat my vows to this crew and this ship. 

I promised you an adventure and a life of great risk in return for spoils, riches and eternal fame. 

We are the scourge of the Caribbean seas and we all know that dead men tell no tales - but it’s the crawling fear of our next victim that will spread the Pirate’s Tale…

Weigh anchor and hoist the mizzen, prepare the cannons and let’s chase that Spanish Treasure fleet before we set course back to Tortuga.”

Unless you are sure you are the biggest fish in the sea, don’t venture out too early or too far  from your trusted hometown port. 

ENGAGE IN TACTICAL NAVAL BATTLES

A ship is safe in a harbor, but that’s not what ships are made for. Fight in tactical turn-based naval battles on a hexagonal grid of epic proportions. Use your wits when raiding a convoy or a settlement. Victory is determined by a clever combination of your ship’s distinct armament with the varying and rough conditions of the sea.

• As an elected captain of the ship, it is your responsibility to split the spoils and riches with your crew. Agreeing on so-called ‘articles of capture’ clearly define the objectives you embark on before leaving port. Remember the whispers of mutiny below the decks can lead to nasty outcome. After all, you are an elected captain and not placed by the grace of the Lord.
