Cadet-Captain Mike Name: Cutlass (Pirates)
Card: RV #010 (Common)
Points: 8
Masts: 2
Cargo: 3
Moves: S+L
Guns : 2S,2S
Hit %: 133 (S), 0 (L)
Ability: Schooner. This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against forts
within S of her.

Forts came out in the CC release, ended with the RV release, and there
were only eleven of them. A bonus against forts, therefore, falls into
the category of "useless abilities that are supposed to be good."
Fortunately for the Cutlass, she can earn her keep even if she never
sees a fort in her life.

Good speed, okay cargo, and a single-digit price tag mean she'll make a
good gold ship. Good speed and two good cannons mean she'll make a fine
support fighter. Why not give her a Captain and let her do both? You can
add Gentleman Jocard for another cargo space if you're expecting to to
more gold-digging than shooting, or a Musketeer if you'd rather shoot.
But here's a word of advice: if you actually get the chance to use her
against a fort, DON'T! Most forts have twice as many cannons (or more)
as a two-masted ship, and even if both her cannons score hits, she's
going to get badly hurt in return.

The Cutlass is a useful little ship with two good attributes (speed and
price tag) and two pretty-good ones (cargo and cannons). Forget her
ability. She'll serve you well in any capacity.

Goldship rating: 3.6 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 3.0 / 5
Boarding rating: 2.6 / 5
Value for points: 3.7 / 5
