Cadet-Captain Mike
 
Name: Cameron the Cabin Boy
Card: CC # 046a (Common)
Points: 3
Faction: English

Ability: This crew takes up no cargo space when revealed. When revealed, put a crew with point cost 2 or less from outside of the game onto this ship.

This crew comes on the same card as Administrator Scott Bratley, England's +5-point crew, so he'll be in a lot of collections. He begs the question, "Why spend three points when all you get is a two-point crew?"

The answer could be summed up in three words: "Just in case." You never know how the winds of battle are going to blow, and sometimes you could kick yourself for not buying the right crew. Cameron can help with that, by letting you pick the right crew exactly when you need it.
Is an enemy about to escape because you missed one too many cannon shots? Use Cameron to pull in a Cannoneer and try again. Are you about to lose your prize ship? If a Shipwright can help, Cameron can get him there. He can replace a Helmsman who just got eliminated, or give you a Chainshot Specialist to get you out of a jam. He can even pull in some named crew, like Powder Pete or the Lynch's Noose.

A nice bonus for this crew is that he takes up no cargo spaces. You have to keep a space free for the crew he pulls in, but until you do so, you can use that space for gold.

I've never used Cameron, but I can definitely see his virtues. Most of the other factions have similar crew for the same price, so I'd have to say his point value is fair.

Total rating: 3.5 / 5
