So I got my Ralgard to the table for the first time in earnest - so a starter fleet including a Master tactician, plus one Balloon with tugs and two heavy cruisers with drilled crews vs an Elven starter fleet with 4 destroyers (proxied by assault ships) and a pair of SkyPirate Sabre mercenaries. Went badly for the elves as they turned away too early giving the Ralgard a chance to turn as well....the elven battleship took out frigates and the heavy cruisers but they took out the elven cruisers in the process and elven frigates, even in numbers cannot take on Ralgard battleships as was attempted. Elven destroyers are however a messy thing to deal with. The aerial duel was quite quiet. Carnage is present all over but victory went to the Ralgard….but the points weren't as far apart as might be thought because despite losing more ships they captured two heavy cruisers and a couple of frigates. There is a first look at my first SkyPirate ships here too.

Well there will be more pictures soon I hope - I've eBayed up me an Elder Dragon, 2 invokers, a Beacon Platform, a Ripper Sub, 2 darkness cruisers, 3 adept destroyers,, a Pounder Tower, a Massacre Trollship, 6 Pyre frigates, 2 Foundry Heavy Cruisers, Bellows airship, 2 Vulture heavy cruisers and 2 sabre Sky Pirate attackships.... Some came painted - a couple I have touched up a little to suit my paint schemes but most have to be painted and woe is me- I just ran out of black spray....typical. I think Im becoming an eBay and Webshops in strange places junkie.....

Also the Platform has a flying base but the card listed in MBS doesn't say Flying but does allow the platform to move over other surface vessels....so its a low level floater, rather than a true flyer - as per the Sky Pirate Battleships.

I got an answer from the Uncharted Seas Facebook group - someone posted and image of the second card from a blister. In short, if Fire Ships conduct Rams and do damage, then the target of the Ram gets a Raging Fire.

Hmmm Fire Ship and Pack Ram on the orc Pyre frigates.....assume Pack Ram is the same as the Bone Griffon Orcus' but Im a bit flummoxed on where to find Fire Ship as an MAR or Special rules - is it a misprint for Flame Weapon? Rest is all handy to know! Thanks.

Thanks a million!

I am having great difficulties locating stats for the Shroud Mage beacon Platform, the Iron Dwarf Foundry class heavy cruiser and the Orc Pyre Frigate - despite the PDF I have for the Bone Griffons including the Bone Griffons Reanimator TroopShip that came out the same time. Since the DLs section for Uncharted Seas disappeared entirely and wasn't ported to Warcradle that I can find these seem to be a problem.....

Sorry, im on holiday at the momoent so only just checked in here...have replied.!

A fair few came from stores in Germany and Sweden who had old stock...that was the last starter sets I needed. ebay netted me the rest. Its taken a while to accummulate and I still have gaps...

Iron Dwarves: Starter set as always but 6 destroyers, 2 heavy cruisers and 2 Belchers plus tokens and 2 Kraken and tokens.... Cannot claim the subs as my painting sadly.

Thaniras Elveses: Starter set plus 4 assault frigates, which I may use as more frigates with proxy destroyers..

Imperial Humans: Starter set and some Martyrs.....not really been able to expand these ones...

Ralgard: Starter set plus a pair of heavy cruisers and 2 Jarak heavy balloons with towships

Dragonlords next: Starter set plus a Carrier and Nodras, an arcane cruiser, 2 heavy cruisers and 3 destroyers
