Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Le Marseillais (France)
Card: CC #072 (Uncommon)
Points: 14
Masts: 3
Cargo: 4
Moves: S+L
Guns : 2L,3S,3S
Hit %: 167 (S), 67 (L)
Ability: When touching a Pirate ship, this ship may load as much of that ship's treasure as she can carry.

This three-master isn't quite as capable as the last two ships we looked at, but she has one attribute that they lack: raw speed. If you want to catch gold ships and use the load-all ability, you need speed to feed your greed.

You might have fun by adding a Helmsman to Le Marseillais, which should let you catch almost anything afloat. That leaves three cargo free for stolen gold, which is plenty in most cases. Then you could dump your purloined goodies into something cheap like Le Fureur, and go out for more without going all the way home first. If the enemy uses Pirate gold ships, you could make life very uncomfortable for him. Or you could use a Captain instead, rob whatever you can, and sink what's left. If you can't catch a gold ship, your speed and cargo are good enough for gold running as well (but she's too expensive for a pure gold-ship role).

Le Marseillais, like the other ships we've looked at this week, is quite versatile, and that's always good. She's a bit more expensive, but with her S+L move, you're getting what you pay for.

Goldship rating: 3.8 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 3.6 / 5
Boarding rating: 3.0 / 5
Value for points: 4.1 / 5
Draco Starcloud Le Marseillais

Cargo Space: 4 spaces is a good size to use with this ability. You can hold lots of enemy gold.

Masts: You only get 3 masts here with a 2L and two 3S cannons, which is big enough to pick on a lot of gold runners and accurate enough to hit a mast if you have the chance.

Base Move: The Le Marseillais' advantage is her S+L base move. Good for catching gold runners or fleeing gunships.

Point Value: 14 is not good considering you get more value from HMS London or L'Aguila. The only advantage Le Marseillais has over either of them is her speed.

The Le Marseillais is a good ship but it has the unfortunate condition of being overpriced, especially compared to HMS London.

I give Le Marseillais a 2.5/5.
