Zanzibar
It's 2-mast Fire and Steel boats this week on Pojo!
If you've been to the WizKids' Fire-and-Steel card
gallery, you may have noticed a small problem with
it: they've got the Spanish and Pirate ships
intermingled by accident! Some of the Pirates are
under Spain and vice-versa! If you look at one of
these boats, just take a look at the flag to tell
which nation it belongs to. With the interesting
tidbit out of the way, it's time for the review.
The Zanzibar is a little schnooner that wants to be
a big, bad boarder. Unfortunately, the only thing
the Zanzibar has in its favor is a +1 to boarding
rolls. She only has three cargo spaces, so any crew
you give her will take away precious room for gold.
Her base move is a mere L, which would be fine for a
fighter, but not a ship that wants to steal gold.
Her cannons are a decent 3S, but if you want to take
advantage of them, you need a captain, which would
take away from your gold capacity.
This ship wants to be a boarder, but it's a backup
fighter that can board when the opportunity arises
at best. For 10 points though you could find
something more specialized.
