Pirates of Davy Jone’s Curse - #096 - Hessian

Name:  Hessian

Set: PODJC

Card #: 096

Rarity: Rare

Type: Ship

Cost: 9 Points

Masts: 1

Cannons: 2S

Cargo: 3

Movement: 1L

Faction: American

 

Ability:             Once per turn, one crew or ship within S of this ship cannot use its ability that turn.

 

Flavor Text: The tiny Hessian is nearly a renegade. In fact, she appears on no official naval records, raising questions about just who authorizes her vicious attacks.

 

Another overcosted 1-master, or is she?  That’s a pretty handy ability to have, basically a ship-borne version of Nemesio Diaz.  Add to that the 2S cannon, 1L movement and a whopping THREE cargo spaces, she’s not half bad is she?  You could throw a helmsman on her to make her go faster, and you can still get two more crew adding to 7 points.  She’s like a spy-ship or special forces boat.

 

 

 

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

# Closed Auctions: 11

Low Sale Amount: $.75

High Sale Amount: $2.35

Average Sale Amount: $.99

Average EBAY Store Amount: $4.13

 

That’s a decent number of auctions, however, they’re all ending for next to nothing.  The BIN prices are very inflated based on the regular auction average.  She might take off, though unlikely.  One masters aren’t really worth a whole heck of a lot.

 

My Ratings

Playability 3 of 5

Collectability 3 of 5

 

Next Week – OK so this week we WERE supposed to do Pirates, so we’ll do them next week.  Tune in for the fun!

 
Redsled Hessian

Redsled says: Unique dual-function ship for the Americans. With a healthy 4 cargo spaces she could be pressed into service as a second-tier treasure hauler. Where it not for her relatively slow speed for such a small boat she could be better in that role. Her main claim to fame is her cancel ability. Keep her next to one your larger crewed-out vessels to take out any threats to your flagship and at the same time get protection as one-masters don’t last too long before being sent down. Keep in mind abilities are not actions. Each boat has singular innate actions that cannot be canceled. Moving is an action. Shooting is an action. Repairing and exploring are both actions. All of which may not be cancelled. Moving AND shooting is an ability and thus you need to focus on whom/what is allowing the combined activity and cancel that object.
