Plastic pirates and a plastic sloop? Count me in!

I've been intrigued by this game for ages, but it's always been a bit too expensive (the resin ships aren't cheap!) - though ironically, I often saw units in the discount bin... But never the ones I wanted!!

But making their minis in HIPS is an auto-buy for me. I can see using the ships for RPGs, and other table top wargames too

They've added an "RPG" pledge for folks who might just want one boat, and one box of ~12 figures.

I know it takes a lot of skill and dedication, but I know a few people who managed to scratch build their own ships for B&P and they're pretty damn great, although buying the stock one is a much simpler task.
