Cadet-Captain Mike Name: L'Auguste (France)
Card: OE #075 (Common)
Points: 9
Masts: 3
Cargo: 3
Moves: L
Guns : 3L,3L,3L
Hit %: 150 (S), 150 (L)
Ability: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against English ships.

As with L'Afrique, the OE release set out to improve on L'Auguste. This time, the improvement wasn't so noticeable, because the original wasn't so useless. But she's still better than she was.

Her point cost is way down, and her cannons and her ability are somewhat better. She lost a cargo space, but since she's no longer trying to be a gold ship, that's fine. If you're expecting to see the Union Jack come sailing over the horizon, then send this ship out against them with Captain, Helmsman, and a 201% hit rate. For other enemies, you might prefer the Jaguar, with slightly better guns for one point less. But nine points for what you get in this ship is a fair price, no matter how you look at it.

The new and improved L'Afrique is not superb, but she's way above mediocre. She may not become anyone's favorite ship, but as you browse your collection for ships you've never used before, I think this one deserves a try.

Goldship rating: 2.4 / 5
Gun Ship rating: 3.4 / 5
Boarding rating: 2.4 / 5
Value for points: 3.3 / 5
