Pirates of the Revolution – Commander Albert
Crenshaw POR #95
Name: Commander Albert Crenshaw
Set: POR
Card #s: 095
Type: Crew
Cost: 5 Points
Faction: American
Ability: “All of this ship's cannons have L range.”
Flavor Text: “Crenshaw would rather fight the
Redcoats than pirate scum, and so he has begun a
private war on the Crimson Coast to keep his
personal agenda alive.”
I mentioned this crewman in my Enterprise review,
because he goes perfectly with that particular ship.
In order to play him you’ve got to have a ship with
a decent point total, because otherwise you won’t
get any other room. Combine him with a Captain, and
you’re looking at 8 points of crew (and two cargo
spaces) BUT, you’ll be able to move and shoot, with
all of your cannons at long range. He’s certainly
expensive, but on a ship like Enterprise, which only
has S cannons, he could be the key to winning games.
And he’s a common as well, so he should be really
easy to pick up for between $1 and $2.

Pirates of the Revolution – King George POR #96
Name: King George
Set: POR
Card #s: 096A
Type: Crew
Cost: 4 Points
Faction: American
Ability: “Once per turn, this ship may randomly take
one treasure from any ship she touches. “
Flavor Text: “Found by Carl Smith, he was named King
George for the only other cur Smith knew. In
boarding attacks, K.G. heads for the officers’
quarters to grab whatever fits in his mouth.”
While I don’t see much point in playing this crew
piece, I love the fact that WK put him in the game.
I love that there’s animals as crew (there’s Skyme
the Monkey as well), and I think that it totally
adds to the character of the overall game. Is he
playable? Naaah. 4 points is too much for this
ability, because if you’re close enough to touch
them, you’re close enough to blast them out of the
water. Still, it’s a nice little surprise for your
opponent when you flip him over and steal one of his
treasures.
This common card comes with an Event as well, and
it’s Mermaids, so this card MIGHT have a slight
premium over the other commons. I’d still expect to
spend no more than $2 on the single.

Commander Albert Crensahw POR #95
All of this ship's cannons have L range.
This is the piece I was referring to yesterday. This
+ Enterprise surpasses the Titan by a mile, but at
the cost of five whopping points is it really worth
it? I can’t really see this piece used on a treasure
ship to add range due to its high end cost and the
only warship that can partially use it is the
Enterprise.
Constructed: would rather use base set gastly (pokemon
fans would get this one) 1.5/5 since it serves some
purpose for the Enterprise.
Limited: 2.5/5 adding that range when your fleet
choice is small can definitely be beneficial, but
the smaller amount of American ships in the game
lowers the score slightly.
King George POR #96
Once per turn, this ship may randomly take one
treasure from any ship she touches.
This is one little doggy I am a fan of. Four points
may seem steep but on a fast moving ship with good
pinning and boarding capabilities you can steal a
lot of gold. An alternative tactic is to use this
crew member on your treasure ships to take any gold
from a warship/treasure hybrid in the vicinity of
your ship.
Constructed 3.5/5
Limited 4/5 Costly, but you’ll have treasure ships
battling treasures here if you don’t get any rare
five masted ships
