Admiral Robert Blake

Hey, didn't we just review this guy's Spanish counterpart last week?
He's the same cost for the exact same ability, except he's English and he links. Wee. The link is sweet, but this guy still isn't worth 5 points unless EVERYONE is playing Barbary Corsairs in your area, and I doubt that's happening. Also, I don't typically mention sealed, but play him in sealed if you get an English ship to put him on.

Rating: 2.5/5 (but a 4 in sealed :)

Lawrence

Another English crew member for today. He links to the HMS Durham, which is an OK ship, but I'll save that for later. Anyway, 5 points lets you shut off an opponent's crew member or ship that is in S range every turn. That's not actually that bad. 5 points is slightly pricy for my tastes, but drop this on a gunship and basically go and kick the crap out of your opponent while shutting down their best crew, making it harder for them to counterattack. Still kinda expensive at 5 points, but try it out. I probably will at some point.

Rating: 3/5
