Blackwatch
 

Redsled says: Very solid new five-master for the Americans. With her ability as a non-American world hater you have at your disposal all long range cannons; three at 2 or better and two at an almost automatic “anything other than a one.” If you cannot get a hit with this ship change your dice. The point value here is very reasonable for her ability. Combined with a very pedestrian 4 cargo spaces and an average movement at “L” this ship can be a very sturdy building block in your American fleet. Add a helmsman and at least a captain and you’ve got yourself a ship killer.

Pirates of Davy Jones’ Curse - #088 Blackwatch

Name:  Blackwatch

Set: PODJC

Card #: 088

Rarity: Rare

Type: Ship

Cost: 16 Points

Masts: 5

Cannons: 2L, 2L, 3L, 3L, 3L

Cargo: 4

Movement: 1L

Faction: American

 

Ability: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls against any non-American ship or fort.

 

Admiral Crabtree’s family hails from the original Plymouth settlers. His brushes with horror at sea, however, have turned him to the bottle, and instilled in him a burning hatred for non-Americans.

             

Blackwatch is definitely one of the better five masters in this game.  The fact that she gets +1 to all non-American ships or forts brings those cannons down to 1Ls and 2Ls, which means on average she’s going to hit on at least 3 of 5 cannon shots.  Her ONLY drawback is the low cargo, but if you use your crew wisely she can be your number one gunship.

 

Wild’ Will’s Patented EBAY Auction Review 6-26-06

# Closed Auctions: 13

Low Sale Amount: $1.75

High Sale Amount: $9.20

Average Sale Amount: 4.79

Average EBAY Store Amount: $5.67

 

Obviously the range of prices is pretty wide on this ship.  Judging by the sheer number of auctions and the higher prices, I’d say our average is a tad low here, she’s really a $5-$7 ship right now, and may even run higher the more American players realize she’s an awesome addition to their collection.

 

My Ratings

Playability 5 of 5

Collectability 4 of 5

 

Next Time: American Two-Fers, with only FOUR named characters in this set for the Americans, I wonder who they’ll be?
