Cadet-Captain Mike

Crew-fer Two-fer:

 

Name:    Zheng Li Kwan (Jade)

Card:    SCS #023 (Rare)

Points:  5

Ability: Once per turn, you may eliminate one of this ship's crew to give her an extra action. After looking at treasure on a wild island, you may trade any one treasure from that island for a random treasure on any other wild island. This ship must load the traded treasure.

 

This crew has two abilities that don't really go together. The sac ability is usually used for fighting, while the wild-island swap is a gold ship's ability. You could put him on a fighting ship and not use the gold ability, or put him on a gold ship and not use the sac ability.

Or you could put him on a ship like the Virtuous Wind, which is good for both gold and fighting, and probably use both his abilities in one cruise. Regardless, he should travel with an Oarsman or two so he'll have someone to sacrifice.

 

Zheng Li Kwan's abilities may not complement each other, but the Jades need what he has to offer.

 

Goldcrew rating: 3.7 / 5

Gun Crew rating: 4.0 / 5

Boarding rating: 3.2 / 5

Value for points: 3.5 / 5

 

Name:    Warlord Cavendish (Jade)

Card:    SCS #028B (Common)

Points:  5

Link : Divine Wind

Ability: Pirate crew may use their abilities on this ship. Once per turn before you give this ship an action, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, this ship may be given the same action twice.

 

This crew is what the modern US military calls a force multiplier. He doesn't do much fighting himself, but he makes other fighters much more potent. Both his abilities are vital to the Jade Rebellion, because they have a serious crew shortage and only one mediocre ship (the Grand Wind) with the same-action-twice ability. Cavendish can turn any of the three-masted junks into killers, and if you put him on a six-master...

please don't do that if I'm playing against you.

 

In other navies, a crew like this wouldn't be such a big deal. But he's a big fish in a small pond to the Jades, because they need his abilities so badly. For this reason, he gets higher marks than he'd get in other navies.

 

Goldcrew rating: 3.2 / 5

Gun Crew rating: 4.5 / 5

Boarding rating: 3.3 / 5

Value for points: 3.8 / 5
