I guess that makes a bit of sense. From my simplistic point of view it just seemed a bit weird (also a bit of a let down in game terms since firepower seemed to me to be the main reason you'd bring...
I just recently fixed the masts on my aerodrome busted mast ships (sick deal and it only takes a little super glue to make the ships right as rain). As for August I think I might finally finish the...
I have a friend (who I met when I ran the game at Ancient City Con and who is now a forum member as well) who was at Gen Con and didn't find out about this game until it was too late. Poor bastard.
I checked out the shrouds on the Aerodrome website and I see that they are labelled by the product code but here's my question. What shrouds should I use for starter set ships? What about for the...
I'm grabbing my bottle of Kraken now. Time to splice the mainbrace!:drinks:
The same is true of the British first rate I picked up (Royal Sovereign). The other thing I noticed is that the other two arcs are much heavier in the first rates. So where the Genereux is...
Now if only the french had a naval victory that they could celebrate...
So I got my broken mast first rates recently and couldn't wait to check out the record cards and see those giant broadsides..... only to see that they are the same as the 3rd rates from the starter...
Also I know of two people who signed on because of me. If there are others I'm not aware of who they are as they haven't friended me on here yet.
I also started a group on facebook. I'm going to try and organize a group here in Jacksonville and see if we can get more SoG going.
Yes, there are pictures. I'll have to post them soon. Also I just received Shipmate requests on this forum from two of the people that were there.
I ran Sails of glory yesterday for Day 2 of Ancient City Con here in Jacksonville Florida and the game was a smashing success:medal:. I had enough supplies for 8 players (two starters) and had no...
So if you plan a maneuver that violates your veer you are taken aback? Seems a little weird.
In an advanced game, what happens if a player plans a maneuver only to take rudder damage so that later, when it is revealed, it's illegal. He can't just sit there because then planning an illegal...
I think the nail was hit on the head with the name of the game. SoG Napoleonic Wars implies the nations involved in those wars and the USA just wasn't really. Personally, as an American, I don't...
I was in a historical scenario recently involving ironclads and we had respawning ships but only because historically our side had a ton of those guys waiting to come in and join the battle so that 2...
Dot to base is the book rule but more experienced naval gamers are more accustomed to mainmast to mainmast and could certainly make it a house rule. This actually came up at my session at Rapier as...
I would feel bad for any boarders who didn't have much experience and thought to themselves "We should head down to the gun deck and start killing the gunners, that way they wouldn't shoot back at...
The French player who got left in the dust was a little bummed and the kid who lost a ship wasn't super excited but he had a good attitude. He had actually played the game plenty of times with his...
It looks good there. All shiny and stuff. I'm going to show it off to all my friends.:drinks:
I just saved this thread. I might have to give these rules a try when I run the game at Ancient City con here in Jacksonville Florida.
Awesome, I think the only one I qualify for so far is the minor con GM medal for running the game at Rapier.
The game was a success and here are the pics I took of it in action.:drinks:

My only regret is that the first turn maneuver by my friend Ethan effectively took one of...
So I did run it and I'm about to post some pics and give some details.
Yes, if you do the back filling correctly the ships can sometimes take more of a beating than they could otherwise (I love it when I have a 4 in a box and it soaks up another 4).
