Keyword: Schooner.
Ability: This ship gets +1 to her cannon rolls
against Pirate ships.
Every now and then, WizKids forgets that American
ships are supposed to be slow and overpriced, and
they make a ship like this one. She can't take on
the El Acorazado or HMS Titan, but that's not her
role. The Flying Fish is a sniper.
Her cannons aren't overwhelming, but her speed and
maneuverability let her use them more effectively
than more ponderous ships. If the enemy is a Pirate
ship, which is common enough, she can really do some
mischief.
Her role is to zip into range of a gold ship or
secondary fighter, fire a salvo or two, and zip away
before the target's big friends can get close enough
to retaliate. Her cost is pleasantly low; just add a
Captain and away you go. She can pinch a little gold
on the way home, too.
Any fast ship with decent cannons can make herself
useful, but some are better at it than others. The
Flying Fish is slightly above average for a two-masted
ship. Just remember - sniper, not brawler.
Total rating: 3.5 / 5

Flying Fish
The Flying Fish is an average ship for the Pirates
of the Revolution set. The mast to cargo ratio is
also average (2:3). The cannons are decent; one is a
3L and the other a 3S. Against pirate ships the
ability bumps up the cannons to 2 rank cannons. Not
too shabby. The Flying Fish’s points cost (9) are on
par with similar ships if a bit on the high end.
This is not a powerful ship, but she can be useful.
She looks to me like a ship you could use to chase
after treasure runners and take pot shots at
anything else. I would shy away from placing
anything other than basic crew on the Flying Fish.
In the smaller games I would not take her preferring
the slightly slower 6 point ships with 2 rank
cannons. This average ship gets average marks from
me, 2.5/5.
