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. |
