Watch Out For The Dutch In Blood & Plunder Expansion This June
May 2, 2017 by brennon
As part of an expansion to their fantastic piratical tabletop game, Blood & Plunder, we're seeing the Dutch appear on Kickstarter this June from Firelock Games.
The Dutch will feature as one of the factions in No Peace Beyond The Line and are already looking rather awesome. They each have their own style which has been researched by the team and most are sporting some spectacular moustaches.
Interesting, Firelock Games have said that...
"All Dutch sailor units will be able to be used in English and French Buccaneer factions as support units and as a Spanish faction called the Ostend Privateer"
...which sounds rather cool indeed. We have the guys from Firelock Games in the studio with us soon and hopefully, we'll find out more about what they have planned.
Now we just need to try and find out more about the colours that the Dutch would have been wearing at the time. They seem rather flamboyant so maybe some bright colours should be on the pallet?
Will you be keeping an eye on this Kickstarter?

To Tilbury!
Generally for Dutch you never go wrong with some Orange … Even if it might ruffle a few feathers around Colrain
Also there is a Galleon coming so it seem I’ll be a poor man in June as well, ohhh well who need food anyway 😉
Food is overrated … 😉
Dutch working for the Spanish are traitors
yep, and there’s only one thing we do to them : kill them all .. 😉

For reference there are two replicas of ships from that era (East India Company so not the same location … )
‘Batavia’ & ‘Zeven Provincien’ (‘Seven provinces’ formed the basis of what was later to to be The Netherlands’. )

Tempting. I just hope the price is right this time.
