Grand Temple

Now we come to the big gunship for the Jade Rebellion. It's a bit expensive at twenty points, but it's worth it. Let's quickly look at the downside - 3 cargo spaces is very low but you may not need more than that. She can be fine with a Helmsman, Captain, and Chang Pao.
S+S movement is average, but the Helmsman takes care of that. You get
six (!) masts that are equipped with two 3S cannons and four 2L (!) cannons. And we haven't even gotten to the ability. It's a Junk that is allowed to move as a free action after shooting. Pretty good! It can shoot and then get out of retaliation range unless the ship it's smashing has equal movement. You can just get within L shooting range and lay waste if it's a smaller ship, as if you're using Chang Pao, four 1L cannons should destroy anything with 4 or less masts in a single turn unless you're unlucky. Junk makes it easier to shoot them, too. Overall this is a beast of a ship. If you're playing Jade Rebellion, you're playing this.

Rating: 4/5
