SPECIAL NOTE!

Included in this booklet are a skirmish set of rules for barroom brawls among groups of pirates and a tactical set of rules for larger pirate actions. The rules are a tightly integrated pair so that the more detailed Blood and Swash figures can be used as leaders in a Thunder and Plunder game. Both sets of rules are extremely simple and have proven extremely popular, flexible, and enjoyable since their original printing in 1999. The text in this new edition has few additions from the second edition, but it has a new color treatment and additional artwork.
