Raiding From The Sea In Blood & Plunder: Spanish Vs Brethren Of The Coast
June 22, 2017 by crew
Blood & Plunder allows you to do some great raids off the coast and so we’re learning all about how they work with the guys from Firelock Games.
Back Blood & Plunder: No Peace Beyond The Line On Kickstarter Now
In this demonstration, the Spanish are facing off against The Brethren Of The Coast as the men head to land in search of treasure and glory and you’ll learn all about how the transition works between the two landscapes.
We’re looking forward to doing more of this in our games after this themed week!

What historical coastal raids do you have planned?
Yarr.
Oh, awesome. I’ve been waiting to see this in action.
finaly the big selling point for me , ship action, hope to see next ship vs ship
the ship mechanics are cool, the ship vs ship action will really be interesting
Shivveer me timberrs..i like the mechanics here. Nothing like a little ship on ship love…
Really interesting on how cannons, wind, and ship movement all come together in this game. It seems very well thought out in reality, but also transferred equally well into game play. I really like that if the wind is blowing and the sails are up, the ship has to move, this could lead to some very interesting events, like forgetting where you are at and smashing into an island. Love the videos so far, great game.
This is looking better and better!
I thought that this might be the weakest part of the game but I was so mistaken.
What an enjoyable run through.
I was disappointed when they called it; I was so sucked in that I wanted to see what happened next.
Can you buy this stuff in UK?
http://www.firelockgames.com/store-locator/ have a few flags in the UK
Including the mighty Caliver Books.
Yes, I believe gaming figures is currently carrying the game in the UK and for the rest of Europe.
I think if you look at the current Kickstarter you can purchase the current miniatures and ships.
It’s so hard to resist a new game when it’s given an outing like this. Looks like fun. I love the period and the flavour. Must be strong…
Unless I win one of the prizes. Then I’ll cave and buy loads more stuff. Lol.
Getting more and more excited about this game. Must resist . . .
I caved and am now a backer
I was sceptical that a game could introduce the sea and land elements together in the period. Esp with both at 28/30mm scale. Seem’s I am wrong!! Yay!! Must go check out the new KS after all…
Also, if you don’t pick me to win a prize: Walk the plank, ya scurvy dogs!
Excellent system combining naval and land fighting. Would like to see the men coming of the ship throwing grenades then divjng headfirst into hand to hand combat.
Moving scenery? That’s effectively what a ship is in this game rather than a vehicle. Models on it can shoot and be shot at, and opposing forces can move on and melee on it. Want a closer look at who and how much control rack side has over its movement when contested.
should have backed this
cant find any UK shops selling the rulebook
The kickstarter is up right now. You can add the existing products as add-on to your pledge.

Looking forward to more vids
This game should be up for best miniatures game 2017 in the BoW awards 🙂
One of the awesome features of this game is how well land vs land, ship vs. land, and ship vs. ship combat works within the same system.
Now it’s getting interesting. Ship to land and ship to ship actions are what appeals to me most about this game.
Going all in on the kickstarter may be a bit too expensive for me, but perhaps I can just pick up the rulebooks. I have a box full of old Warhammer Empire men sitting in the basement. Those would fit the general troop types of this game. Were the Germans ever a force in the Carribean?
This should be fun.
Any UK retailers stocking this? Would love to pick it up and give it a go, but customs and shipping from abroad are worrisome.
The website have a handy store locator http://www.firelockgames.com/store-locator/
I agree with bucketknight, the game with ship is getting very interesting. i am hoping the next video looks at ship to ship action. I have not bought anything as yet, but will jump into the kickstarter. Firelock is coming to Historicon in the USA in July, so after my kickstarter I will plunder their booth for the stuff I need to round up two factions.
I did get to see a few ship vs. ship battles at Origins it is fascinating
The minis and ships look great. I have been looking for a good rule set for this era and can’t wait to give it a try.
I like the way the action between ship and land is coordinated. Well done on minis and game
I’ve been waiting for such a video. Really excited to see the way the ship to shore mechanic works.
