That's cool that you got some fun minis to maybe someday/never paint! Bummer that they cheaped out on some of the other components. I read that it's 2-10 players! I'm assuming that if you've got 10 people, it just means everyone controls 1 ship. Bring it next con/meetup, I think it'd be great for us to all give it a shot. I vaguely remember Man O' War from back in the day, but don't know if the Eric/JP crew had it.
That shit head from Kubla that was picking up our cards/pieces from whatever game we were playing and throwing them back down on the table just put out a game that getting a lot of good hype, Eminent Domain. Fuck that guy and fuck his game though.
