Pojo's Pirates Constructible Strategy Game
Card of the Day
Feb 11, 2011

Cadet-Captain Mike

Crew-fer Two-fer:

 

Name:    William Dampier (England)

Card:    SC #055 (Rare)

Points:  5

Link : HMS Malton

Ability: Pirate crew may use their abilWilliam Dampier #055 Pirates of the South China Seas Pocketmodelities on this ship. Once per turn before you give this ship an action, roll a d6. On a 5 or 6, this ship may be given the same action twice.

 

William Dampier combines two useful abilities into one. He doesn't save you any points, just a cargo space. The SAT ability is always a useful thing to have, while the ability to use Pirate crew may or may not help an English admiral. England has a good assortment of fighting crew, but there are a few holes (like a stand-alone world-hater), and their gold crew are few and far between. As such, he might be more of a help to an English gold ship than a fighter. Too bad there aren't many English gold ships. On the right ship, and paired with the right Pirate crew, he could be very effective.

 

Gold crew rating: 3.3 / 5

Gun crew rating: 3.2 / 5

Boarding rating: 3.4 / 5

Value for points: 3.3 / 5

Name:    Crimson Angel (Pirates)

Card:    OE #039 (Rare)

Points:  5

Link : Deliverance

Ability: Once per turn before you give this ship an action, roll a d6.

On a 5 or 6, this ship may be given the same action twice. This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against any non-Pirate ship.

 

This crew is one of my favorites. Not only does her combination of abilities save you a cargo space, she also saves you two points compared to the value of her abilities purchased separately. That's a long-winded way of saying "excellent value." Put her on any Pirate fighting ship you please, preferably a big one with a reroll ability. Both her abilities will prove very, very useful there.

 

Gold crew rating: 2.3 / 5

Gun crew rating: 5.0 / 5

Boarding rating: 2.9 / 5

Value for points: 4.2 / 5
