AdamC: Guardroom gunboats (30 Points)

Gunboats they aren't as sexy or powerful deap sea warships but they are well suited to defending harbors and coasts.  They are particularly good as customs ships facing off with lightly armed and lightly built smugglers.If you have enough of them they can hurt real warships, especially when working with shore fortifications and larger ships.  Just don't try to use them to replace your navy the way President Jefferson did!
Black Seas plays these as a "squadron"  they can move under sails or oars thought if moving under oars they can't fire. There are two options one with a light gun and another with a caronades. 
Points I think these should get 10 Point like other small ships (counting the whole base as one ship) and then another 20 Points for the room.

  3. Good models, Adam. I really wish Warlord had made these as separate models, but it's still makes a nice gaming piece.
