Beautiful terrain! So many fun points in this video. What's with those dice?! hahaha. At 1:11:15, Justin's point about the action deck being genius is really true. A couple days ago, I played Blood and Plunder and the cards for activation really dialled-up the fun factor. Two forces of 4 units, one reduced to 2 and losing badly. It switched strategy from offence to very strong defence, and deliberately losing initiative with clubs or diamonds. So, defensive response combined with the higher activation points was a superior plan and in the end, with a few spades thrown in to try regain initiative when critically necessary, won the game for that losing force. Although, we jumped the 6-turn rule and took the game to 10 turns. It took longer, but wow is Blood and Plunder SO FUN. :)
So love the ships and nice job with the board!! My buddy backed this KS but hasn't had time to dig into it.. hopefully these "let's play" videos will motivate him!
Looks nice... not sure I'm thrilled about the mix of cards, dice and special game dice. I loved GW's Legends a decade ago, maybe I'm just an old grognard that's resistant to change. Will have to try it out to see if it's worth investing in or have it walk the plank.
With the card system and a you go I go activation makes this game very exciting. the fatigue within the game and the dice condition really makes the game feel like the era of piracy and black powder. definitely want to make my gaming group involved somehow in this game:)
As everyone said, gorgeous board and pretty miniatures. The rules look a bit fiddly to my liking, but gave me an idea: what about adapting Bolt Action rules to the period? Shooting should be shorter range (e.g. 12 inches) and less accurate (e.g. base to hit number of 4+), and close combat less bloody (e.g. retreats if beaten rather than outright elimination) but everything else, at least for infantry, should work about the same, no?

This board is BEAUTIFUL :O
I love how the game is grounded on a historical basis. Good stuff!
Great demo game! The board is absolutely amazing. You've made a really good game look absolutely fantastic. You've obviously had a lot of fun.

finally a decent pirate ship game. CAN'T WAIT!!
*wistl* that gaming table looks nice, not to mention the miniatures.
I love this game. It's surprisingly deeply tactical despite how fast it plays.
I was super excited for this, when you guys first showed it, watching it played makes me even more excited.
love the idea of the cards for initiative and action
this is the minis game I've been waiting for! huge amount of love for this era! Game seems really simple to get the hang of too! Top notch work guys!
Holly CROW! That B&P board is sharp. But I even believe all those nice buildings and terrain on the shelves.
Excellent terrain with beautifully painted figures! The game looks to be quite fun!
the board is awesome! a table like that enhances the immersion even more, great job!
Looking forward to the whole week of these videos. Great game for a great week!
So love the ships and nice job with the board!! My buddy backed this KS but hasn't had time to dig into it.. hopefully these "let's play" videos will motivate him!
Nice crisp rules it looks like. As well as some great looking miniatures.
Loved the game board and getting a good look at actual land combat. When I did a demo of the game at gen con last year it was the ship to ship combat.
Awesome looking terrain, game look interesting, digging the fatigue mechanic.
great to see how this game plays, and how well the board works.
Yo ho, yo ho a pirates' life for me! Awesome table guys and a fun, fast paced action packed game.
Finishing up my Unaligned this week. Built several docks as well.
How have I not heard of this before today?!? Had to find a vid, looks pretty good so far
Thanks for the contest! Like how the game plays.
Looks great. Easy play. Just backed the new kickstarter today. Well done.
What a fantastic board and some great mechanics. Looking forward to playing this.
An awesome pirate game being played on a stunning board. Doesn't get any better than this!
Great job on explaining the game, look like the rules I've been waiting for. Love the board!

SOUTH PARK!
sureiguess1 I literally just wanted to see if it was real! And not gonna lie this board game looks badass!
Those minis are some of the nicest iv seen.... that table though!!!
Great looking game. It reminds me of Freeblades with the wonderful models and small unit tactics....
Great table!! loving the card system really unique
I'm really interested in seeing what the ships can do. Beautiful models, but not sure how I feel about the gameplay yet.
Looks nice... not sure I'm thrilled about the mix of cards, dice and special game dice. I loved GW's Legends a decade ago, maybe I'm just an old grognard that's resistant to change. Will have to try it out to see if it's worth investing in or have it walk the plank.
Its nice to see the table in action after seeing it being built.
A beautiful board in deed. I would love to play a game on that.
Stunning board/setup
the board is amazing.
can't wait to try it
Yes that is a truly beautiful table and mini's.
Would love to get a hold of this game. Looks fun.
Thanks for the coverage.
This looks awesome, im a terrain nut and this looks like fertile ground for new boards

Fantastic system and a besutiful board. Will keep a close Eye on this Game.

Great table. I'm stealing some of those ideas. I've been printing a ton of models from Printable Scenery for playing Blood & Plunder.
great how to video can't wait to win the prize so I can play myself
This looks amazing! I can't wait to try it out.
With the card system and a you go I go activation makes this game very exciting. the fatigue within the game and the dice condition really makes the game feel like the era of piracy and black powder. definitely want to make my gaming group involved somehow in this game:)
Looks cool, Very nice looking table btw.
I back the first kickstarter but sadly no one else in my area did. So hopefully people will back this wave.
This is such a excellently made board. If only I have the skills or the time to make it.
Hope to try this soon myself!
looks a good game system got some friends that would love to try this out
Wow that board!
Awesome board!

Love your guy's videos!
I've played the demo at my local shop and really like the rules
This looks so cool and I love the terrain! me and my wife were sad that we could not get into the event that is happening at Gen Con this year.
I would suggest showing up at one of the event with some generic tickets. The Firelock guys are pretty cool, they will try to fit you in, I'm sure =)
DOPE SHOW! GREAT PRESENTATION! :-)
Perhaps I`ll start this game system myself if there is cash & time...
Very nice setup!
Did someone say ship to ship combat? =D

Is there a campaign system ?
That is rather interesting system. I wish the models were just slightly cheaper though, even if they are beautiful.
Great board!
