Captains' abilities.

[Union Jack]

Sven remind me NOT to take this man as a named captain!

François-Paul Brueys d’Aigalliers, Comte de Brueys (died 1. August 1798 at Abukir on board of his flagship)

Ability: "Tend to Explode"

Following page 40 of the rulebook - optional rule Ammunition Explosion: Your ship explodes definitely with the second fire damage.

[Bligh]

Captain William Bligh.
Following the Bounty mutiny, his 48 day passage in an open boat from Tahiti to Timor 3,600 miles in an open boat with no charts and only a sextant for navigation should qualify him for the "Navigation" ability. If his ship leaves the table at an edge other than a friendly one, his skills allow him to get his ship back to a home port. Also a strange one for Bligh. "Loyal crew." In spite of the much mentioned Mutiny on the Merchant ship Bounty, he was the only Royal Navy Captain who's crew refused to Mutiny during the troubles at Spithead and the Nore when the Home Fleet went on strike.
This should allow him to gain one extra crew action twice during a game.
