Name: Ramsgate
Card: RV # 038 (Common)
Points: 0 (4 gold)
Faction: England

Guns : 3L,3L,3L,3L,3L (rating: 3.5 / 5) Hit %: 250 (S), 250 (L)
Ability: This fort has one 2 L-range cannon. When placing this fort, indicate this cannon by placing two flags side by side.

When this fort came out, its special ability caused some confusion. It sure sounds like it has one cannon with L+L range, but the official ruling is that it has one 2L cannon instead of a 3L. So why didn't they just say so on the deck plate?

Anyway, this is one tough fort. Five average cannons with L range means it won't fold up and die easily, and it will probably inflict some serious hurt on anyone who tries. It has the weakness common to most forts, in that it's defenseless against ships that can't be hit by L cannons, so you may want to keep a ship with S cannons nearby. Ships that lack the above ability will probably steer clear of the fort altogether, which is usually what you want when you build a fort.

This isn't the best fighting fort - Paradis de la Mer holds that distinction - but it's one of the best. If you're looking to put up a strong "No Trespassing" sign somewhere, this is a good way to do it.

Total rating: 4 / 5
