This condenses a few uneventful turns down to a single panel. I hopped from port to port buying and selling along the way from San Juan to Tortuga. Monte had left many of the sea spots I used empty of merchants along the way, so there was little for me to raid.
The beginning of turn 7(?) I’m not going to lie at this point in the game my note taking had become spotty. I have the key moments that happen but I don’t know what turn at this point. The story and game are nearing their end’s at this point looks like 8 more and the next game will start. Maybe the next one will be a racing game, I did just pick up Rallyman GT.
This one was an experiment with colors from an image I had seen elsewhere, it came out ok, Not great, but ok. I guess that what happens doing these in the evening after work. Sometimes there’s a dud but I gotta use it anyway.
Merchants and Marauders playthough continues. I was able to use the haze as a reason to delay moving for the story. In the game the storm marker and enemy ships were all within striking distance so I waited one out to see what direction everything would head.
Merchants and marauders turn 6 concludes. The fluyte,..flujt,….. My starting ship has now been upgraded to a Galleon. The pirate sloops are much less a concern now.
I’m not putting tracking marks on Billy Oboe strips, yellow and yellow today.
Merchants and marauders turn 6 continues. We cross paths as Monte gets decided to go hunting after a rumor card when he got tired of spending all his money repairing damage from merchant raids.
Merchants and marauders turn 6 continues. Selling the cocoa left enough money to upgrade to a galleon. Goodbye Fluyte. Port actions have some wiggle room to expound upon the story. In the spur of the moment I enjoy doing it but inevitably I miss something that later turns out to back me into a corner story wise. Where will an uneasy port leave me stuck this time.
Merchants and marauders turn 6 San Juan. The port of San Juan was demanding cocoa, of which I had three in my hold, of course I’m stopping for a glory point.
Merchants and Marauders play through Friday update. Turn 5 concludes. I sail towards San Juan.
Cocoa was in demand at San Juan so I sailed that direction to unload my full holds. Spain and England were at war and their Man-o-wars were close enough to a direct path that I decided a round about route was best.
Merchants and Marauders play through Friday update. Turn 5. I hunt a merchant ship.
What started as a way to show merchant raids to Carlos paid off exceptionally. The raid paid 15 gold and my hold held 3 cocoa and the forged documents.
Merchants and Marauders play through Monday update. Turn 5 begins. I minimize the pirate threat by turning towards them. Dodging the pirates was less of a threat than the Man-o-wars the navies had out.
