Link : Guy LaPlante
Ability: This ship ignores the first hit she takes each turn as long as she has all of her masts.

I hate this ship! And the reason I hate her is because she's such a good ship, and my gaming adversaries always use her, and she always boots my keester into orbit.

The cannons are as good as you'll find on a two-masted ship; neither an ignore-L-cannons ship nor a can't-be-hit-in-S-range ship can hide. Speed and cargo are both quite good. The ability can be deadly when used well.
For instance, this is one of those ships that can get into a bow-to-bow double pin and win, because the other ship can't hit her more than once, and it takes two hits to bring down her first mast. And you get all this for a very good price.

Guy LaPlante, the linked crew, is a dashing-looking swordsman who just isn't that great. +1 on boarding isn't much, and the bonus against forts is useless unless you fight one of the few admirals who uses forts. I'd find some other use for his five points.

Le Courageux makes a fine little gunship. Or you can use her for gold; her stats and point cost are good for it. Or you can just put a Captain on her and send her to sea; she can pick up gold one turn and blast enemies the next. Not many ships give you that kind of flexibility. And my enemies know it, oh yes they do. I must grudgingly give Le Courageux the highest marks, because I can't think of a way to make her any more dangerous than she is.

Total rating: 5 / 5
