Wouldn't Pieces of eight by our friendly Martin aka Peter Pig scratch the same itch?

Very different games Chaz. Im currently playtesting the new version of POE and the scale changes the game feel quiet a lot. B&P is a skirmish with extra detail were as POE is a small fleet attacking merchants with an additional land battle game being seperate.This is just a small townships being raided. Both I like but in this size does make a difference! Oh eer misses

I've never played that one but this one adds. The aspect of men shooting from the boat then boarding. But as I haven't played that one I'm not sure on the mechanics

I am happy to have a go. I have a lot of 28mm pirates that I have painted up. Also on my Conan game I have a 28mm figure board of two pirate ships side by side for boarding. Fantastic art work already to go if you have rules we can float it and see what happens.

OK I've taken the dip into blood and plunder with a couple bits and a shiny sloop

But one thing I'm a little concerned about is the rigging of the ships. Does anyone have experience of such ropey nastiness

What's the clubs scenery like. Do we have some Caribbean houses and maybe some castle looking walls?

There are three boxes full of stuff in the kitchen cupboard. I think we lots of bits of a ruined church. I think I have an article how to build stuff.

Cool. Thinking of a small outpost with village huts looking cool

Just remembered, I played a game with Simon of chosen men from osprey. There is a ruined Tudor building and I have the matching pub (no surprise there) in my collection. Also I have found an article on making huts out of polestyrene using crepe for the grass roof in miniature wargames mag.

I have yet another 15 painted pirates in the Conan set. So that means I have forty painted up.

I have been looking at the woodland Indian tribes from black powder. Looks interesting to paint up I noticed the Indians played their part in this time period. They sided with the British. Could anyone shed any further light on their involvement in this game?

There is some natives in the game that I believe have more cc traits than shooting but lack ships. I've see basic and canoes

If you have the battle card in the rules I will get the black powder set for 15 quid that would get me 100 points 25 figures and I will enjoy painting them.
