Not quite on topic, but this is the year that got me interested in printing. Will be grabbing a resin printer very soon. Always saw printing as something that made crude looking objects good for...

Thank you! Ordering from abebooks. Not sure if this book touches on it, but any books on how squadrons were managed and dispatches/positions/orders were communicated?
Thank you! This text? https://www.amazon.com/Foundations-British-Maritime-Ascendancy-Resources/dp/0521768098
We've all read a thousand books on Trafalgar, on seamanship, tactics, blockade actions, and gunnery. On uniforms and cannon sizes. What I would love to read more of is big picture. The strategic and...
Yea these are great, thank you Eric.
Dobbs, on the main page you will find the download library on the left, click it and log in and you will see the “private access” library. From there you can find everything.
I have them all...
It’s almost worth buying for the bibliography alone.

Once you purchase it you have access to the downloads section which includes a...
Rob,
Would love to hear your thoughts on Willis’ book. I was under the impressions that Tunstalls work was superior, but if you find Willis tackles different points well I definitely need to add...
First off to jump on this thread 5 years later.
The Flying Colors deluxe edition that GMT released this year is superb. Its built purely for manageable fleet actions, and allows players to...
Oops, fixed the image the right way up.
Dang mobile cant upload things correctly.
To expand on the game, its almost exclusively focused on managing 1-2 ships, and works terribly well for...
Ah a shame. Guess it’s back to reading biographies of great frigate captains and extracting what best I can from each
Thankee both! Great write up Gary thank you. I’ve been doing a lot of digging and it seems BS is just considered the inferior ruleset. o&I seems different enough to be worth having along with SoG....
They are 3cm in diameter
Oof I should have updated this!

First off, Sails of Glory is a fantastic system. It regularly hits my table, especially with basic rules for some quick and dirty beer & pretzel naval wargaming. But when I really want to feel like...
I’ve been absent from SoG for a while since discovering Post Captain. No game ive ever played has been a better simulation while somehow also not being overwhelming at all.
With PC as my more...
Was this intended to be a reply on this thread?
I own Fighting Sail, Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail (Tunstall), Seamanship in the Age of Sail (incredible book), the Sheet Anchor, and biographies of famous frigate captains like Cochrane and...
I've wanted to use my Sails ships for Post Captain, Kiss me Hardy and other systems, so that I can just own a single scale and set of ships and terrain. These plastic chips from Amazon work amazing,...
Late to the party here, but what do you use for your stays and pennants? I know the ratlines are in the shop here, but the rest really brings the whole package together
Glad you found some good documents. I also find the players aid, ship runthrough, ship sheet generator excel file, and total manifest of all ships by nation excel file to be invaluable documents....
