The best tactic is always: RUN! RUN AWAY!
Nice one
Boarders Away….I havent managed this yet
this is a good way to explain some of the rules
More tips, does what it says on the tin 😀
Nothing says steampunk like using battleships to start a knife fight.
I have the urge to continue the fine Crown tradition of ramming the enemy before sending in the boarding parties. “Sail me closer! I want to hit them with my sword!”
Like that its an advanced, rule so not essential for some, but such a cool aspect of the game!
Boarding parties should be able to board sea vessels from the air, but there should be a consequence if they fail to stick the landing.
I can just imagine Warren launching “SKY COMMANDOS” and destroying a few eardrums in the process!
Boarding actions!
Get close and jump on?
