Freebooter Miniatures: Salute Special: Raging Rivers Deal - Boats and Islands


Freebooter Miniatures: Critics may claim that pirates who exclusively fight on land aren’t really pirates at all. More sort of glorified highwaymen with peg legs and eye patches, who say “Arr!” a lot. Like a bunch of West Country farmhands who were off sick when the others were doing basic scythe handling at harvesting school.

Usually, critics claim something vastly different when you make them walk the plank, but one can run out of planks and the sharks cannot squeeze another bite in right now. And so Freebooter’s Fate is finally venturing onto the water.

So: put your crews in boats, let them plough the waters of Leonera’s lakes and rivers, fire heavy ordnance, ram each other, board enemy boats, throw people overboard, row, bail, and nautical stuff of that nature. They will need the practice, because ever since the volcano erupted, the rivers are the only even halfway secure routes to the hinterland’s gold. Sorry, did we not mention that?


So yeah, we have boats now. And a special deal at Salute. Get the new expansion book, two resin boats: a jola (3-seater), pinassa (6-seater), a swivel gun for the big boat, a set of boat equipment cards and 16 island templates to be used in the new scenarios for the special Salute price of GBP 50. Arrr! and so forth.
