From Drake and his sea-rovers to Blackbeard, the Barbary Corsairs and the Wo-k'ou of the Far East, pirates have haunted seas across the globe, preying on port and vessel alike. Now you too can recreate the exploits of pirate captains or the naval commanders that hunted them. Whether you want skirmishes between crews on uncharted islands and in the alleyways of Caribbean ports or ship-to-ship duels that culminate in bloodthirsty boarding actions, the rules offer a quick-to-learn basic game. These small forces of buccaneers, commanded by captains and kept in line by trusted lieutenants, can also be scaled up with ease for larger engagements. Gameplay centers on two driving motivations that epitomize the pirate life – Fear and Greed. Cunning captains will have to balance these two elements, instilling fear in their opponents with bloodthirsty reputations, while keeping their own crews in line with the promise of loot and wealth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore-toc\"\u003eIntroduction\/ The Battle Rules\/ Characters\/ Naval Encounters\/ Campaigns and Adventures\/ Army Lists\/ Quick Reference Sheet\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Osprey Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":38244114596027,"sku":"9781472801401","price":23.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1704\/1809\/files\/Osprey-Wargames-07-On-the-Seven-Seas-Wargame-Rules-for-the-Age-of-Piracy-and-Adventure-c_1500-1730-Softcover.jpg?v=1698503397"},{"product_id":"osprey-wargames-09-fighting-sail-fleet-actions-1775-1815-softcover","title":"Osprey Wargames - 09 - Fighting Sail: Fleet Actions 1775-1815 (SC)","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-detail-description__body readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years between 1776 and 1815, grand square-rigged sailing ships dominated warfare on the high seas.
