Name: Le Superbe
Card: RV #047 (Rare)
Points: 16
Faction: France
Masts: 5 (rating: 5 / 5)
Cargo: 5 (rating: 3.5 / 5)
Moves: S+S (rating: 3 / 5)
Guns : 3L,2L,2L,2L,3L (rating: 4.5 / 5)
Hit %: 301 (S), 301 (L)
Ability: Other ships do not block this ship's line
of fire.
The last big battle I fought in, two of the four
admirals brought a Le Superbe to the fray. That
wouldn't happen if she were a lackluster ship.
Her speed is good for a five-masted ship. Her cargo
is also good. It's all those 2L and 3L cannons that
will get you, though. They've gotten me a few times.
She'll usually bring down three masts in one attack.
Her ability is one of those that make you scratch
your head and ask, "How would I ever use that in
combat?" In reality, it's surprizingly useful.
I've watched a player try to screen his loaded gold
ship with another ship, only to see this big
Frenchman shoot through the other ship and blast the
gold runner.
Le Superbe will need the usual fighting crew (a
Captain and a Helmsman).
Gentil de la Barbinais, the French world-hater,
would be gainfully employed on this ship, and you'll
want Pierre Aronnax if submarines or sea monsters
are nearby. You could replace the Captain with
Jordan Dumas for the move/shoot and reroll
abilities. To be really nasty, you could go with
Capitaine Arathiel, the sac captain, and a couple of
Oarsmen for him to slay. This can mean two
move/shoot actions in the same turn, a combo that
can leave multiple enemy ships in tatters. I've seen
it happen; it's scary.
You definitely get what you pay for with this big
ship. I just wish you didn't have to pay so much.

Le Superbe
Le Superbe is a fine five
master. Big guns all at long range, good speed for
her size and average cargo space for the number of
masts (which is also good). She is definitely a
fleet ship. Bring something that can't be hit at
short, plunk it in front of Le Superbe and let her
open fire. She's a gunship so after the two
mandatory crew there is space for more of your
choice.
She's a good candidate
for second move characters and even a sac-captain to
get that extra move in (sink two ships a turn at
S+S+S). One does have to be wary of the "can't be
hit by L-range cannon" ability as all Le Superbe can
do about that is ram. Le Superbe is a excellent ship
in my books 5/5.
