Yesterday's ship was the big Spanish fighter. Today's ship is the little Spanish fighter. They'd make a mean team.

La Reconquistador is almost identical to the USS Quigley, which I raved about when I reviewed her. The Spaniard has one less cargo space and costs one point less. The cargo is no issue for a ship this size; a Captain and a Helmsman are all she needs. That makes her a fine value.

Her role is obviously that of secondary fighter. Her cannons are as good as they come, and her ability can hurt the biggest ship in existence. Unlike many secondary fighters, this one should stay close to her big gunship, rather than chase down enemy gold ships, because gold ships usually don't have crew on board, and this ship is all about "servicing the targets" on the enemy's quarterdeck. Knock off a crew or two, and your foe's fighter won't be so tough. If he turns on the Reconquistador, he ignores your big fighter and takes more damage. A big-ship/small-ship combo like this can tag-team even the biggest ship until it's a mastless wreck.

A bit more speed would have put this little ship in 5-point country.
Even so, she gets high marks for being a nasty little addition to your fleet for a bargain-basement price.

Total rating: 4.5 / 5
