Whenever a ship sinks, runs aground or capsizes not everything sinks down to Davey Jones locker and instead washes ashore after floating in the ocean along with debris from the ship. After a recent incident with a ship (sunk in battle, capsized due to a storm, etc..) several items has washed ashore waiting to be claimed. These goods have not gone unnoticed by two crews in the area that has been following the wreckage ashore hoping to find something worthwhile.
The Gaming Area
The game is played on a 4’x4’ board that represents an area of the shoreline that has debris washed ashore. Place wreckage, rocks within 24” of one board edge to represent the shoreline and the opposite board edge is considered the tree line up to about 24” from the opposite edge . Place D6+2 makers on the table, all markers must be 12” from the table edge and 8” from one another.
Starting Positions:
Players roll off for the edges opposite of the water and tree line as they are searching the shores for salvage. Players will then divide their crew into two groups to represent search parties scattered about. Roll a d6, 1-3 the first search party may be deployed otherwise on a 4-6 the second search party is placed on the table. The group that is not deployed will be held in reserve and arrive later in the game (see “Late to the Party”)
Initiative
Players roll to see who goes first and the highest score wins the Initiative. IF there is a tie, the Crew with the lowest Infamy goes first.
Winning the Game
The Crew which gets the most loot tokens off the board wins or when one Crew has either Routed or has been wiped out. In the event that a Crew Routes or is wiped out all loot markers that was on the table (including those being held by the routed crew) go to the winner of the game. Only the markers that have been removed from the table may be claimed by the withdrawing crew in the event they Rout or are wiped out.

Loot: The Hero or Henchman group who gets loot counter off the table gains +1 Experience Point
Booty:
Follow the normal rules as listed in the Income and Trading section for Earning Booty. The winner may claim an additional d6 roll. Players also roll on the Salvage Table to determine what they recovered from the shoreline.
Special Scenario Rules:
Salvage Markers – At the end of the Movement phase, any model in contact with a loot marker may retrieve the marker. If one model carries a marker they may only move at 3”, if a second model is in contact with the marker they may move the full 6”. Any model with a loot marker may not shoot or charge in combat until they drop the loot marker. Markers may be dropped at the start of the movement phase and the model may move, shoot and fight normally. If a model is charged, the model will put down the loot marker to defend themselves in combat. If a model makes a “Hit the Deck!” check and fails, they will drop the loot counter and then move to cover. Once a model(s) reaches a table edge with a loot counter they are removed from the game and will not return as they are taking their prize to the ship.
Late to the Party: At the start of the second turn, roll for each model in the search party. On a 4+ that model may be placed on the table measuring their movement from the edge of the table. The model may act, shoot and charge just like any other model.
