AVAST, ye scurvy bilge rats!
Don't know if people are aware or not (I certainly wasn't), but apparently Firelock Games will be having a new Kickstarter for their new range of plastic pirates and ships, from the high age of piracy (early 1700s).
I don't have much in the way of details, but the figs will be hard plastic, and multi-part injections, so they can be assembled in a variety of poses. No details on scale, but I assume they'll continue with their slightly larger than standard, 32mm scale minis from their previous ranges.
Major pirate captains from the day are planned to be produced.
The starter set will include TWO sloops as well, along with men, and revamped rules, so you can run the death of Blackbeard scenario.
It's titled the Raise the Black Kickstarter, which starts October 6th, 2020. Not sure when the products are scheduled for delivery.
