What the Boards.ie trail is useful for

These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 52 readable matches for Royal Oak, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.
