Pirates of the Revolution
Pirates of the Revolution is the third installment of the constructible strategy game Pirates of the Spanish Main by WizKids. As its name suggests, it takes place during the Revolutionary War. Set Details. "Pirates of the Revolution" contains a total of 144 new ships, crew, forts, and treasure, printed on a deep blue background with the star expansion symbol printed in the corner. The "Revolution" set expands the role of the American fleet, previously introduced as a Super Rare ship in "Crimson Coast", with 22 new ships, plus a host of unique crew including John Paul  Jones. The expansion includes reinforcements for the original factions from the "Spanish Main" and "Crimson Coast" sets. It also contains 4 Super Rare pieces: a Pirate chainshot specialist, Wesley (who shares the name & image of the character from the film "The Princess Bride"), and 2 ships - Star of Siam, and Asp. In the 2005 Christmas season, WizKids released 6 collectible tins containing "Revolution" packs in an Unlimited Edition. The game pieces are the same, but the collector numbers are preceded by the letters "UL", and 4 new ships were added; the Hangman's Noose (pirate UL145), the Red Curse (pirate  UL146), the Concord (American UL147), and the Franklin (American UL148). These tins were mostly sold in mass-market retail outlets like Toys "R" Us and Target. By early 2006 the unlimited packs were showing up in regular hobby stores as well.
