Cadet-Captain Mike

Name:    La Corse (France)

Card:    DJC #077 (Uncommon)

Points:  17

Masts: 4

Cargo: 4

Moves: L

Guns : 3S,3L,3L,3S

Hit %: 200 (S), 100 (L)

Ability: Two hits from the same shoot action are required to eliminate one of this ship's masts.

 

The name "The Corsican" may be a reference to Napoleon, who was born there. If so, then this ship and her DJC sister ship, Le Bonaparte, make one heck of a team. Both shoot well and both have killer defensive abilities.

 

As with most ships with double-tough masts, La Corse is on the slow side. Her cannons are okay, since there are four of them, and she has plenty of cargo space for fighting crew. The bad news is that she's on the expensive side; just the minimum crew of Captain and Helmsman will run up her sail-away cost to 22 points, and if you want any other help, like a Shipwright (very useful on a ship with this ability) or Gentil de la Barbinais (the French world-hater), be prepared to sink a LOT of points into this boat.

 

That said, this is one tough fighter. The only solutions to her ability are Broadside Attack or a canceller. Without those, it takes eight hits to derelict her, and she'll be shooting back the whole time. Not many ships can take that kind of punishment; La Corse can. So send her where the fighting is fiercest, and keep her there until the enemy strikes his colors or sinks beneath the briny. Vive la France!
