Topic: Missing man 'o war? Try Pirates of the Spanish Main.

This might be of some interest to those missing the good old days of man o’ war if even just for the sip models (not that they’re metal or anything) – I saw it in a comic store the other day and thought it looked neat, I haven’t played it yet though or bought it but I plan to.

Though the game mechanics excite me (Sailing ship battles yah!) I'm a bit worried about the life expectancy of those ships. Cardboard being cardboard I don't see them surviving little accidents without any wear or tear.

I've played it and it's so much fun!
It appeals to me so much because it is so cheap and simple yet very enjoyable.
The whole game (measuring tape, cannon range, ship stats and special rules) are all on a card the size of your palm and the ships do last as it is sturdy cardboard and you just pull them to pieces and fit them back into the afore mentioned card when you are finished playing.
It is fast paced swashbuckling action and all you need is a small table to play on.The game doesnt take too long to play either.However for its simplicity it is not as detailed as other games but hey you cant win 'em all .
I highly recomend it.

Cool, I'll have to get back to that comic shop!
