None of my gaming adversaries uses Le Descharges in their fleets. I am thankful for this.

All those 2-rank cannons spell "fighting ship." She'd need a Captain, of course, and a Helmsman would help her choose her battles. She's big enough to justify a named crew, and if you have the points, I'd recommend Robert Surcouf in place of the Captain; he'd let you board without getting pinned. Either way, you'd still have three cargo spaces to fill with other people's gold, and the ability to blow the enemy to kingdom come once you're done looting her. You'd also be in good shape against most fighting ships. 5 cargo might tempt you to use her as a gold ship, but don't do it - she's too expensive and too slow.

13 points is a bit much for a three-masted ship, but not grossly out of order. You certainly get what you pay for, with excellent fighting ability and a mega-boarding action. Nice ship.

Total rating: 4 / 5
