Keyword: Longship.
Ability: Once per turn, if this ship carries
treasure and is within S of an enemy ship, you may
randomly trade one treasure with that ship.
Can anyone explain to me why Caribbean pirates would
capture a Viking longship and give it a name from
India? There's something in this concept that I'm
not getting. But that's hardly a first for WizKids,
so let's forget reality and look at the ship.
I don't think much of longships in general. They're
eggshells armed with hammers, able to dish out heavy
punishment with their double cannons, but unable to
take damage in return because the biggest of them
has only three masts. This one has only one mast, so
she's no fighter.
Her speed is okay and her cargo is good, so you
could use her for gold if you don't mind paying 11
points for a S+S gold ship.
Her ability isn't a game-breaker; it's more of a
nuisance, and a way to annoy an opponent who needs
annoying. Of course, if you're close enough to trade
a treasure, you're close enough for the enemy to
shoot your lone mast off when it's his turn. The
solutions to this are either (a) carry a Captain and
shoot his mast(s) after you move, or (b) take
advantage of a Longship's built-in Oarsman and crawl
toward the safety of your nearest gunship. The
trouble is that most gold ships can outrun this one,
so if you want to go treasure-swapping, you'll have
to add a Helmsman to the ship. The more effective
you make her, the less of a bargain she becomes.
This is the lowest-priced longship you can buy.
She's not a stunning example of the breed, but she
doesn't stink, either. I give her average marks.
