Ability – This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against English ships.

 

Flavor Text – “The Grand Mountain was commissioned with one purpose: to hunt down and destroy the English colonists invading the South China Seas.”

 

Do you play against someone who’s CONSTANTLY playing English?  Then this is your ship.  As far as gunboats go, she’s not too terrible, with either 3s or 2s, and half the cannons are Short range, half are long.  She’s decently costed too.  Is this your primary gunship if you’re playing JR?  Maybe not, but if you play against English all the time, you might want to think about it.

 

Wild’ Will’s Patented EBAY Auction Review 4-16-06

# Closed Auctions: 4

High Sale Amount: $2.25

Low Sale Amount: $5.50

Average Sale Amount: $4.56

Average EBAY Store Amount: $7.58

 

Not the most expensive of six masters, but not el-cheapo either.  A solid investment, especially if Jade Rebels get more ships in a later set, though that remains to be seen.

 

My Ratings

Playability 3.5 of 5

Collectability 3.5 of 5

 

Next time – Jade two-fers.  It’s Jade catch-up week.

 
Richard Grand Mountain

Five of these 6 masted junks were included in the most recent Pirates of The South China Seas expansion. Grand Path is generally thought to be the most effective, with 6 x 2-rank guns, although all short range. Grand Mountain is her sister ship (Mountain Path – geddit?) and is perhaps not quite so appealing, having slightly less good guns, although she does only cost 14 points.
Her ability (+1 against the English) is great if you know you are going to be playing against an English fleet – not a lot of use otherwise.
Still, there are plenty of 14 point ships in this game with a lot less than 6 average or better guns, so overall you’d have to say she’s a pretty strong piece.

My rating – 3.5/5
