As time went on the Spanish ambassador was treated with disrespect, his house beset, visitors to his chapel imprisoned; Spanish ships were robbed with impunity in the Channel.

 Pirates of the Spanish Main Terrain   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
This month our task was to construct a piece of terrain for the tremendously popular 'Pirates of the Spanish Main', a relatively new sea-based customisable strategy game in which you take control of an armada of ships.
Also 'Pirates of the Spanish Main' is on a miniscule scale so another thing I kept in mind was the fact that I wanted my terrain to have little or no reference to scale on it, and that the ships themselves would set the scale so there would be less margin for error.
And so taking all of this into account I came up with my plan: to construct 7 or 8 islands of varying sizes and type that would form a mini archipelago and give those nasty pirates a nice place to hide so they could ambush and plunder ships until their fl hearts were content.

To start off Spanish week 2, we have El Garante-A five mast ship that when in range with a ship by it's side, is a killer.
