Cadet-Captain Mike Name: La Cazadora (Spain)
Card: RV #041 (Uncommon)
Points: 8

Masts: 2
Cargo: 3
Moves: S+S
Guns : 2L, 2S
Hit %: 133 (S), 67 (L)
Ability: Ramming cannot eliminate this ship's masts.

"The Huntress" is a trim-looking little ship with some good features.
Those features are two fine cannons and a low price. Speed, cargo, and ability are strictly average.

You could use La Cazadora as a gold ship, or as a secondary fighter, and do just fine either way. If gold is her goal, she needs no crew, although either a Helmsman or an Explorer would speed her up considerably. As a fighter, she needs a Captain, and a Helmsman wouldn't hurt her there, either. Her ability isn't an awesome one, but can be very useful if your enemy likes sea monsters and submarines.

La Cazadora is not an exceptional gold ship or a stunning fighter, but any time you get a ship with multiple roles, you're almost getting two ships for the price of one. Plus, the enemy can't tell at a glance what her role will be. And her price tag is more than fair.

Goldship rating: 3.1 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 3.1 / 5
Boarding rating: 2.3 / 5
Overall value: 3.7 / 5
Nick La Cazadora (Spanish, 8 points)

Masts: 2
Cargo: 3
Move: S+S
Cannons: 2L, 2S
Ability: Ramming cannot eliminate this ship's masts.
Flavor Text: Capitan Oloma has developed a new strategy for La Cazador, using the aggressive huntress as a battering ram to discourage ships that attempt to raid Spanish holdings.

A personal favorite of my Spanish fleet, La Cazadora is a well rounded two master with just about everything essential for a two master.

La Cazadora's cargo is average, sitting at a comfortable three, so I advise throwing a captain onto her, since her point cost will only be raised to 11 with a captain. Her move is average, but since it's a S+S, she can change direction during a turn, a helpful technique that some ships don't seem to have grasped yet. Opposite to La Cazadora's other average statistics, her cannons are something to be praised. She can hit ships from S range with a lethal two cannon, AND she can hit ships from L range with a lethal two cannon. Her ability is very helpful, considering ramming two masters is a favorite for many players.

La Cazadora isn't the best ship there is, but she can be useful in the clutch, plus a very competent fighter.

RATING: 4/5
