As soon as I see a ship with a price tag of 5 points
or less, I start looking for what's wrong with it. I
don't ask myself, "Is this ship any good?" I ask,
"Can this ship do anything useful?" If it can do
something, anything at all, then its price makes it
a bargain. Any time you can add a ship to your fleet
for the price of a Musketeer, it's a steal. So let's
see if Le Fureur can do anything useful.
She's uniformly sub-average in masts, cargo, speed,
and cannons. Her ability is a negative one, changing
her slow speed into dead-slow if you fill her holds
(which isn't hard). But, given those limits, can she
do anything? Here are a few things that even the
most mediocre ship in the fleet (and that might be
Le Fureur) can do.
She can tow a derelict home; her low speed is no
handicap when towing is restricted to an S move
anyway. She can pick up gold from the nearest wild
island, and get home just as your fast ships are
returning from longer cruises. She can screen a
bigger ship from enemy fire until the big ship makes
its move. My friendly enemy, Daniel Repaire-du-Lion,
puts Maurice Aristide on her and leaves her in port
for the entire game. His gold ships transfer their
treasure to La Fureur, one coin at a time, and
Aristide runs up every coin's value by 2.
No, this is not a great ship. This is a very
lackluster ship. But for three points, you can't go
too far wrong. Her marks reflect her abilities, but
if you're playing the French and have three points
left over, you could do worse than picking this
ship.

La
Fureur
La Fureur is an average ship. La Fureur's hold (3)
is better than average for her size, her speed and
guns are less than average. Her points cost is on
par with HMS Antelope which costs 2 points more and
has L+S speed without a harmful ability. What makes
La Fureur useful is her cost. You can slip another
ship into your fleet and send her to a closer
island. If she fills her hold once she has paid back
her points cost.
Alternatively add a helmsman and do a couple of
trips.
Average marks for an average ship 2/5 she's useful
if you need to cram more ships into your fleet.
