"No artillery rules or blunderbuss, they will be added in a pirate /boarding actions supplement".

Saw the above message on another thread on TMP, and would like to know when it might become available?

I'd also like to know a little more about the rules, from the Pirate Era standpoint, since I didn't realize they covered that. I just read last night that there are some suggested stats for various historical/fantasy pirates included with the rules.

I originally thought they were meant more for the Three Musketeers type battles, but can see where there are some good crossover opportunities.

Thje rules work well for pirates – used them since they came out.

House rules for blunderbus – shot at by unaimed volley of 3 pistols, anyone in small arc.

Cannon a little more difficult, depends on shot – work on single-shot per game and anyone or anything in a narrow cone gets chance of hit.

There's a very active Yahoo group that I'd recommend joining: link

Thanks for the recommendation, and info.

I appreciate it, and have joined up, as you suggested.
