I prefer the Redcoats as it demonstrates the British army and their dominance of the Caribbean waters of the 17th and 18th century. However the blue coated soldiers represent France or the British Navy? I could never work that all. Also as for the allied ships, the pirate ships always were bigger and more powerful than any of the imperial Lego sets produced. Which proved to be unfairly matched. However does a faction of the red pirates represent Britain in a slight way? As our country were known for producing many privateers.
