Ship Battles & Boarding Actions In Blood & Plunder
June 23, 2017 by crew
We’re going to be learning about Ship Battles & Boarding Actions in this video for Firelock Games’ Blood & Plunder.
Back Blood & Plunder: No Peace Beyond The Line On Kickstarter Now
Taking all of the mechanics and techniques we’ve learned we set up a fight between the Spanish & English Pirate Hunters.
Make sure your sea legs are firmly screwed on and get ready to learn about the conflict between ships and how you can take the fight to the enemy with some close quarters melee combat too.

This is enough for you and a friend to get started in the game and enjoy some adventures on the high seas!
This is the stuff movies are made of!
So awesome…my flgs just got in a bunch of Blood and Plunder stuff
Ooh – who’s that?
I love the idea of ship-to-ship melee garnished with a spatter of cannon fire!
I’m wondering how ships from other manufacturers would work.
This could be a fun game
If this doesn’t get yer saber rattlin’… nothin’ will.
I was hiding behind a barrel just watching that boarding action. Although they played only two turns, my guess is that turn three would have been decisive. Great video guys.
Finally, a dice tray, well, dice boat.
For video purposes, at least, and since some of the units can be used on a number of factions, maybe snap-on, colored, dice rings as seen in a number of board games, might be the way to go to differentiate the sides.
The ships are great looking and very usable for gaming!
very interesting mechanics, a battle with more than 2 ships will be epic!!
cant wait to board ships for some cinematic battles
This is definitely a winner.
I would love to play a game like this one!
wish you finished off the battle
so many options with tis game
Ooh ship battles. now to replay Piet Hein’s capture of the treasure/silver fleet
Lovely game. I really like it.
great ship on ship action, I have a for a number of years been looking for fun set of pirate rules a nd these seem to fit the bill
This is amazing, its a tabletop version of Sid Meier’s Pirates if anyone remembers it? Great game and I can feel the nostalgia watching this 🙂
How well does this game work scale wise for the weapons of the time? Cannons, muskets, ship to ship combat, ship speeds. Are the ranges at which action takes place realistic (often not the case with 28mm games I know).
It looks great, wonder if I can get my flgs into it…
Just looks AWESOME!
awesome, ship to ship combat give more opportunities for fun and great games.
Is it just me that’s giggling every time they “take a leak”? 😀
Seriously though, I’m loving the look of this game, it seems to capture the feeling of the period really well. And I have to say – the table is a winner, it makes me want to find room to build one.
Might have been better to focus more on the ship stuff. That mostly looked like 2 line sof guys shooting at each other. It hinted at more though. Could possibly have used a bigger table and more ships. But i was distracted with painting.
Yehah the great moment comes!!
I’ve got to get a second ship now
