Which is your favorite age-of-sail traditional war-game?

Wizkids Pirates! :)

My condolences... I too used to play it, it started out really cool and then devolved to Powergame Munchkinry--and if you didn't attend every Con and win every tourney to snag the LE's and Exclusives you were up the creek with no paddle in any format other than Sealed.

Axis & Allies War at Sea had its Munchkin Hell moments too, but it was a game that had many good points too and died a premature death.

This is why I am *VIOLENTLY* opposed to any policy which allows "Real World" advantages beyond "being a better player" to come to the gaming table -- the inevitable result is "power decks" and "Mr. Suitcase".
