Scenario for Next League Game: 4/28 @ Ancient Wonders!

Ahoy,

Here be the complete scenario information for our next League game night. Remember, ye don't have to be a member of the PDXYAR League to sail yer fleet against us. In fact, we're steadily gatherin' new recruits at each game! Are ye ready to sail under the black flag?

Location: Ancient Wonders - Tualatin, OR
Time: 7:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Privateer: Giles Seamus Hagthorpe MacGuffin, Adm.

Game Build: Constructed - 51 points total = 40 points + PotC 'Promo' Flying Dutchman* (11 points)
Islands: 3
Terrain: 3
Gold: 8 pieces totaling 15 points

Description:
- Every player starts with an 11 pt. PotC Promo Flying Dutchman*.
- Your initial Dutchman will take the nationality of your fleet build (if appropriate).
- Each captured Dutchman will retain it's "build nationality" (per standard rules)
- Each non-derelict Flying Dutchman under your control at the end of the game is worth +10 gold.
- "Non-derelict" means that it has at least one mast.
- "Under your control" means that you are able to give it an "Action".
- "+10 gold" means that you are just that much closer to winning the game.

*We'll have these promo ships available for free to those who don't currently have them.

Season 2 is Here... Are Ye Prepared?

Below is a list of dates, times and venues for the next 12 weeks of Pirates games hosted by our group. These games are open to ALL players, but if ye be stout of heart, consider joining the rest of the crew and becoming a member of the PDXYAR League. The cost is minimal ($5) and the glory of victory over yer fellow scallywags be somethin' that you'll want to hold over our heads for yars to come.

Scenarios (including build point total and any other fleet restrictions) for each game will be posted approximately one week before the date of the game. All League players MUST read and agree to the Bylaws posted over on our Yahoo group, as there are additional restrictions/build guidelines to consider.

A look at what might have been...

Ahoy,

We all know that 'Return to Savage Shores' was a lock as the next WizKids-produced expansion for our beleaguered game. Of course, this set was unceremoniously scuttled along with the rest of the company. So, have you wondered what ye might have been included with 'Return'?

Thanks to artist Vincent Dutrait (who's artwork in previous PotCS sets is legendary) we can now have a peek at a few familiar faces that may have made 'Return'...



What's that I see? A new Headhunter... perhaps even Havana Black? Sigh.

Check out this image and the rest of Dutrait's amazing work with Pirates (and beyond) over at his official site.
