Cadet-Captain Mike |
Name: Didier Vidal
Card: OE #083a (Common)
Points: 2
Faction: France
Ability: Once per turn, this ship may look at one
face-down cargo on any ship.
This crew's ability is purely a support role. Before
the battle begins, he can help you know which enemy
ships are carrying which crew. Once the game is
going, he can help you choose the juiciest
gold-runners to pick on. The trouble is that the
crew or treasure he looks at is chosen at random, so
if a gold ship is carrying a 1-point treasure and a
6-point treasure, it's 50/50 whether you'll see the
good stuff or not.
The more turns you play, the more mileage you'll get
out of him, so he'll be more useful in big-point
games that last longer than half an hour.
I'd call Didier a fair value if he cost only 1
point. 2 isn't bad, but it's too much; even the
generic crew give more bang for the buck. I don't
see him getting much use.
Total rating: 2 / 5

Name: Jordan Dumas
Card: OE #082 (Rare)
Points: 5
Faction: France
Ability: Crew of any nationality may use their
abilities on this ship.
Once per turn, you may reroll any die roll you make
for this ship; you must use the second die roll
result.
Reroll is always a useful thing to have on a ship.
In fact, the original Jordan Dumas (from Barbary
Coast) also had the reroll ability, but it was
combined with a move/shoot. His other ability in
Ocean's Edge is one of those talents that sounds
better than it is. The French already have a fair
selection of crew to choose from, so unless you want
a specific crew for a specific mission, it's
unlikely that the any-crew ability will get much
use.
The original Dumas is a good crew. This one is
distinctly second-rate.
They should have made him just a reroller for 3
points, so I could give him average marks or better.
Total rating: 2.5 / 5 |
