Cadet-Captain Mike

Name:    Crusher (Pirates)

Card:    RF #087 (Super Rare)

Points:  12

Masts: 3

Cargo: 4

Moves: L

Guns : 3S,3L,3L

Hit %: 150 (S), 100 (L)

Ability: Scorpion.

 

My gaming group doesn't own any Scorpions (not since somebody sat on Almirante Antonio's Bloody Blade), so my firsthand knowledge of what they can do is limited. The Crusher is a vanilla version of the type, with no other abilities and no stats worth mentioning, aside from good cargo.

 

To me, that suggests that the Crusher's role should be a boarding ship.

She can use her blade to cut down the odds against her, then board and steal gold. She'll need a Helmsman or she'll never catch any gold-laden ships, and you might consider a Captain as well; an evil-looking ship like this will become a cannonball magnet, and she may have to fight her way home after boarding once or twice.

 

But at a sailaway cost of 17 points, this is kind of an expensive solution to the problem of "how do I get more gold?" Sure, the ships with moving parts are cool, and that big choppy blade intimidates the enemy, but if your goal is to win, there are ships that will get you there better, or faster, or cheaper, or all three.

 

Goldship rating: 2.5 / 5

Gun Ship rating: 2.8 / 5

Boarding rating: 3.2 / 5

Value for points: 2.7 / 5
