A small band of pirates attack a convoy, but things don't go to plan.. link |

Great AAR, I've never had much luck flying the Jolly Roger either…….. |

Serves 'em right – nothing Navy likes better than a dust-up with pirates |

@Gaz0045 lol I have some good games with the pirates but this game my dice rolling and decision making let them down! @Frederick yeah these pirates do need to pick their enemies carefully, the only time they can go up against full military ships is if they outnumber them big time… or they will get dusted-up!! |

Nice AAR. :) What minis did you use for this game? Some close up pics would be nice! :) |

Don't know anything about 'Stars & Lasers.' Is there a way to target engines and/or weapons. Useful to pirates… the only time they can go up against full military ships is if they outnumber them big time… Unless something else 'evens the numbers.' I've thought about, but never played (no surprise there!) scenarios that included sabotage. Doug |

@TheBeast Weapons and engines can be hit by critical hits, but critical hits are random in Stars & Lasers so you are never sure what a critical hit will affect. I am writing a scenario or two for the pirates as freebees on my site, had not thought about "sabotage" though… but maybe now I might ;O) |

@trynda1701 thanks, the ships are mainly Ground Zero Games, but there are a couple that were second hand so I don't know the manufacturer. I did do some close up shots of the ships on my site the link is here – link
Not great pic's but I am still learning. |

Nice pics. :) Your second hand non-GZG ships are mostly Silent Death fighters. I've said elsewhere here on TMP, that I use some of them in FASA Star Trek games to bolster my non-Starfleet fleets. Klingon, Romulan, Gorn and Orion fleets have benefited! I use some Aerotech fighters from Battletech in the same way! See pages 2-4 of this thread on Brad Torgersens FASA STSTCS Forum for examples… link |

Great AAR--love use of Silent Death ships,as they are most versatile to use in any universe. They are the core of my Capellan raiders pirate faction in GZG universe. |

@trynda1701 thanks for that, yes I have also found out that some of the other ships are made by Brigade Models. @thedrake Thanks it was a great game, had a couple more since and they were just as good… I still haven't won though!!! :O(
I do like the Silent Death ships, I do have loads of them. |
shows no self-restraint and paints models he doesn't even need yet!
