Anyway, I think this game would have great cross over appeal. Too bad GMT never seems to see the light in marketing to people outside of wargamers though.
First, ditch "A simulation of.." and replace with "A thrilling game of...".
Second get rid of that engraving for box art and get an artist to make something exciting like Blackbeard and Johnny Do-gooder having a sword duel upon the deck of a ship!
Thirdly, a board that stepped outside of GMT "Holding Box Heaven" philosophy wouldn't hurt either but, with this game, who knows how feasible that would be.

And any game company that has the stand alone Flying Colors game with South American countries fighting with tall ships has my heart...

Took something like 7 sword wounds to finally put him down. If not 7, then certainly more than one which is all it would take for the likes of me.

Really, you'd probably need to replace GMT's entire approach to visual design and rulebook writing. Which isn't happening. I like a bunch of GMT games, but man, their visual design is mostly awful.
