40% said "I've never played it"
12% said "no, it is not the best pirates ruleset"
11% said "yes, it is the best pirates ruleset"

Not an outstanding endorsement when 12% each say its not or not my genre and 40% say they've never played it.

Agreed, but they do make some nice looking figures.

The figures are ok, but a lot have strange poses with both knees bent.
The rules are a bit fiddly, having to track actions and fatigue, and we found the ship rules didn't work well with the land rules

The figures are nice but suffer from a bad case of scale creep. However, I have some of their leader figures which look the part of various notorious buccaneer captains. I agree that the rules are too clunky and are suitable only for very small skirmishes. And for those there are much cleaner rules available.
