Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Ghost Walker (USA)
Card: OE #141 (Special Edition)
Points: 15
Masts: 3
Cargo: 4
Moves: L
Guns : 2L,2L,2L
Hit %: 200 (S), 200 (L)
Ability: Windcatcher. Once per turn, one crew or ship within S of this ship cannot use its ability that turn.

Unlike the other cancellers we look at this week, the Ghost Walker has the cannons to take care of herself. Believe it or not, this can pose a problem.

The Windcatcher keyword lets her do a 180-degree turn before moving; thus, the more she reverses directions, the faster she goes. Other than that, she needs a Helmsman. And those excellent 2L cannons just cry out for a Captain. And herein lies the problem: the cannons, and her size, can make you forget that she's just a costly three-master, and make you think she's a first-rank fighter. Yes, it would be a shame not to use those cannons in battle, but don't send her up against HMS Endeavour all by herself, even if she does match a five-master in length. Use her for her ability first, and shoot only if fighting doesn't distract you from her supporting role.

This ship with the odd name (for an American) is the most expensive of all the cancellers (except another American, the longship Kettering).
She's also one of the best. The Ghost Walker was available only in OE mega-packs and Plunder Packs, which are still available on-line, so if your American fleet doesn't include this fine ship, you ought to try to get her.

Goldship rating: 2.9 / 5
