Name:    Floating Stone (Jade)

Card:    SCS #212 (Limited Edition)

Points:  7

Masts: 1

Cargo: 2

Moves: S+S

Guns : 3S

Hit %: 50 (S), 0 (L)

Ability: Turtle Ship. Once per turn, you may reroll any die roll you make for this ship; you must use the second die roll result.

Okay, now here's a useful little ship. For only seven points, you get an adequate cannon with a built-in reroll, fair speed, and the defensive abilities of a turtle ship.

There's no question in my mind, this is a fighter. Her ability would be wasted on a gold ship (unless she visits wild islands often), and she's too small to do much boarding. I'd crew her with my favorite turtle-ship crew, Captain and Musketeer, and keep her close to my big fighter. My big fighters tend to miss a key shot every turn, leaving a ship derelict instead of sinking it, or leaving one mast standing when I wanted it derelict. A back-up fighter like this one can take care of problems like those. She can leave the crew home and run gold if she has to, although she isn't the Jades' best ship for that purpose.

Is this the best turtle ship in the Jade Rebellion? No. Is she the worst? Not even close. The Floating Stone won't be anyone's #1 go-to ship, but she's certainly worth a try.
