Cadet-Captain Mike Name: HMS Endeavour
Card: PotC #003 (Rare)
Points: 21
Faction: England

Masts: 5
Cargo: 4
Moves: L
Guns : 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L, 2L
Hit %: 333 (S), 333 (L)
Ability: This ship eliminates two masts with one hit.

With this ship, without a doubt, the English now possess the meanest fighting ship in the game. Period.

Her hit percentages are as good as you'll find anywhere, and each hit does double damage. Moves is normal; cargo could be better, but you don't need many crew to make this ship playable. Captain and Helmsman will do the trick, or you could use Admiral Norrington instead of the Captain to make her cannons hit on anything but a 1. Does that scare you? It should. This ship could dismast the Zeus with one shoot action. Add Mercer for the Sac ability, along with one or two cheap crew for him to kill, and she could have two move/shoots in one turn, a potential twenty masts' worth of damage. I just don't want to think about that.

21 points is a lot, but compare her to the venerable HMS Leicester - she costs but three points more, has the same ability, has one more cannon, and they're all 2-rank instead of 3-rank. Her only real weakness is that she can't hit ships that are immune to L cannons. She's also susceptible to the same threats as all big ships - Broadside Attack, cancellers, and Firepots. Support her with a smaller fighter with some S cannons, and there's no reason why you can't rule the seas from the Endeavour's quarterdeck. HMS Titan now has competition for the title of "ultimate English warship."

Gold ship rating: 1.0 / 5
Gunship rating: 4.7 / 5
Boarding ship rating: 3.1 / 5
Overall value: 3.3 / 5/
