I M Einstein Grand Path

Grand Path has very good cannons with 6 2S. This ship can shoot through its own masts, so it is even better. To top it off it has 5 cargo spaces.

Speed: L It is slow for the average ship, so a helmsman will help.

Cannons: 6 2S Perfect. Add a "+ 1 to cannon rolls" crew and it will be a killing machine.

Cargo: 5 Very good for a 5 masted ship. You can load it with crew.

You won't use the effect much,(2nd part)but could.

Points: 17 With all this ship has to offer, it is worth it.

Overall- 4.8/5 If it had an S+S move, it would be a 5.

Move: L
Ability: Junk. This ship gets +1 to her boarding rolls.
 
One of five great big 6-masted junks released in the new South China Seas expansion, Grand Path is amongst the most expensive - but there again, she does have 6 guns, and they all have a 2-1 chance of hitting home.
They are also unimpeded by her own masts (by virtue of the Junk keyword), so the only real downside is that they are all short range – which means the chances of getting them all in range on a target, are pretty slim unless you pull right alongside. Also, the boarding ability is okay but not great, since boarding tends to be a very small part of most people’s games. Fundamentally, Pirates CSG is a shooting and movement game, not a game of hand to hand combat.
 
Her cargo pretty good – and just as well, since you’d want to load this ship up with some additional nasties, as well as a move and shoot captain, and a helmsman as well to boost her single L move.
But as a big gunship, Grand Path is going to bust the sides of a few traditional square riggers, and I’m looking forward to using her and her sister ships, once I actually get hold of them!
 
My rating – 4/5. Inscrutably Impressive!
