Cadet-Captain Mike Name: HMS Dauntless
Card: PotC #002 (Rare)
Points: 16
Faction: England

Masts: 5
Cargo: 5
Moves: L
Guns : 3S, 2L, 2L, 2L, 3S

Link : Admiral James Norrington
Ability: This ship ignores the first hit she takes each turn as long as she has all of her masts.

HMS Dauntless was the BMOC (Big Man-o-war On the Caribbean) in the first Pirates movie. Everyone has been quite eager to see if the WK version would do her justice. I'm pleased to say they did.

Her cannons have good accuracy, and a mix of S and L ranges is always a good thing. Her ability isn't quite as good as the two-hits-to-remove-one-mast ability, but it's a good one nonetheless, and it keeps the ship's point cost down. The generous cargo means you can pack her with generic crew, or use a mix of generic and named crew and have a slot or two free for gold. Speed is typical for a five-masted ship.

If you use Norrington (captain and world-hater) on her, all she needs for maximum mayhem is a Helmsman crew, which is something the English don't seem to have in this release. That's how I'd crew her. Then I'd stick her in the thick of the action and watch the enemy masts crumple and fall. Rule Britannia!

Gold ship rating: 2.6 / 5
