This week, we'll go back and look at some unreviewed English ships from the very first Pirates release. The first one, HMS Bolingbroke, is a first-rate secondary fighter (does that make sense?) for a very good price.

Her cannons are just about perfect. Her speed and cargo are typical, but useful. Her ability comes into play most often in confused clusters of fighting ships; otherwise, it usually isn't hard to steer around a ship to get a shot at another. That means the Bolingbroke will shine in big games with many ships in play. In smaller games, she'll still serve you well, just not quite as well. She can run gold in a pinch, but there are other ships that can do a better job of that.

Nine points for three good cannons and fair speed is a bargain in my book. Give her a Captain, maybe a Helmsman, and hoist the Union Jack!
