Name: Madness (Cursed)

Card: FS #079 (Common)

Points: 12

Masts: 2

Cargo: 3

Moves: L

Guns : 3S,3L

Hit %: 100 (S), 50 (L)

Ability: Schooner. Once per turn, one of this ship’s cannons can shoot again if it misses.

The Madness has all the makings of a good secondary fighter. She has a mix of S and L cannons, an ability that enhances her gunnery, and enough room for some fighting crew. Get a Captain and Helmsman on board, and away you go, yo ho ho!

But twelve points seems like a lot. Compare her to the Rattlesnake, a USA ship with the same masts, cannons, and speed. The American has a negative ability, but she has 5 cargo, and she costs only 5 points. I guess the Americans are no longer the most overpriced faction.

But the Madness still looks like a secondary fighter. If you need an escort for a gold ship, or something to give your big gunship an assist, this two-masted schooner might be what you need.
