Maybe you can answer a question -- what do I need to play the game? Just the rulebook? Do I need the Action Cards or are there facsimiles in the book that I can copy? Are unit stats in the book or do I have to buy B&P figs to get the Unit Cards? Thanks |

Never a supporter of any kick starter. Another drain from income that small stores could use. |
Frantic | 19 Apr 2016 3:52 p.m. PST |
You do not need Firelock figures to play. Stats and such will be in the book. RudyNelson, totally get your concern about local stores. We have some options for retailers so they aren't totally left out and have plans to support stores in a bigger way post Kickstarter. |

Kickstarters get the company going and test the waters on whether a game will sell. Successful ones end up in stores. |

How many decks of action cards does one need? The figs look great, and it is nice to see purposefully produced Spanish. |
Frantic | 19 Apr 2016 8:17 p.m. PST |
Each player needs a single deck. The action cards are based around regular playing cards. I want to make sure people understand you don't need our action deck though they are helpful since they give you the actions and initiative values directly. |

I'm in at the Captain level. 28 more days of temptation to make add-ons ahead of us. :) |
Schogun | 21 Apr 2016 4:46 a.m. PST |
@Frantic -- If I use a deck of regular playing cards then, how do I know my choices of actions? Is there a chart in the rulebook? Thanks |

If the kickstarter was EU, I would back it up immediately (and would be a first for me), the reason not being the transport costs but import taxes, which are daunting. Pricing however is very good (for US). If a distribution and pledge possibility can be figured out at EU level, I am sure the allready nicely evolution of the pledges would at least double (and I am being conservative). Take a look at the comments here on TMP : all from the US. exactly for the reason mentioned above. Yes, wargamers everywhere HAVE been waiting for an adequate Pirate geme… |

@BelgianRay -- From the Kickstarter (at bottom): THIS PROJECT IS EU FRIENDLY Rewards bound for the EU will ship from within the EU. No extra customs charges! *Update*: No extra customs charges will be charged to customers ordering within the EU. The VAT costs are covered in the shipping charge. For more information, please see our shipping information section. |

So does the price pledged include shipping? I'm new to the kick starter scene. |
Frantic | 23 Apr 2016 9:24 p.m. PST |
@Schogun, there will be a quick reference that includes the suite orders and available actions. @BelgianRay & GGouveia, the shipping prices include all customs fees. They are not included in the tier level cost, but if you back and select a pledge love, it will display the cost including shipping for your region. |

I'll ask the wife before I purchase. I will pledge it's just a matter of how much as we are travelling to Australia and NZ for a month in July. The product looks great. How will the campaign work? |

I'm a backer, and may upgrade as I get more info. FRANTIC: if you get the 230 option what if you don't want 2 sets of rules and all the dice. Don't we just need one set of dice and markers? |
Frantic | 26 Apr 2016 5:41 p.m. PST |
GGouveia, that set was intended as a 2 player set. Many people requested replacing the additional book with a pair of longboats so we have provided that option. Once the Kickstarter ends you will be sent a survey and you can switch the book out there. |
GGouveia | 28 Apr 2016 9:24 a.m. PST |
Took the plunge with the English Buccaneers with Sloop option. Will upgrade and add a few Spanish sets when the time comes. Looking so forward to these. |
Frantic | 28 Apr 2016 9:29 p.m. PST |
Thanks for the support! :) By the way, we just posted a video on how the ship combat works: youtu.be/VDYTL0xX9q4 |

Frantic, looks great brother. |
GGouveia | 05 May 2016 8:26 a.m. PST |
New Faction Videos, English and Spanish Militia, as well as Guarda Costa. Chek them out, very cool. link |
GGouveia | 13 May 2016 1:28 p.m. PST |
I upped mine to include the 2 sets of minis etc.. |
Frantic | 17 May 2016 5:37 a.m. PST |
Thank you very much! Just 30 hours left! I hope we can unlock the French :) |
