Naval rules

I might have some rule questions for you,

Standing by - hope you enjoy them :)

Not "broken"; just really, really cumbersome

Cumbersome, but the system is broken as well. Something about very poorly thought out progression between damage tables or something. If I can find the last email I saw that described it I'll post it.

For info, a friend has just pointed me at this. Zvezda are releasing an age of sail game in the not-too-distant future, set in the 16th and 17th centuries (prates, yay!) It will be interesting to see what the game is like, and if they produce models for it in the same way (and to the same level of detail and cost) as they have for "Art of Tactic" then this will be an excellent development!

I will try a mix of line of battle, Blood, Bilge and Iron Balls , Fighting sail and, if match, some other like Wooden ships...
and take the ships from the "Pirates of the..." Series.

They look similar in size to the old Broadsides & Boarding parties by MB.

[David Manley]

They might even fit in with the old Airfix Armada era models - great if they do, as I have about 30 of them in the loft :)

Thanks for the heads up!

[Jack Aubrey]

Thank you, great. Can`t wait....

For miniatures I use TFLs Kiss Me Hardy. I did have the computer rules by Malcolm, but I think they're still in a box in the UK. I enjoyed them but since it took me ages to actually make a model, let alone paint one, I used to play solo with counters.

I also have AHs Enemy In Sight lying around somewhere. Too much evidence of a mis-spent youth perhaps. :o
