Modified Bases for SGN101-105

[Dobbs]

Here are blank PDF's of my ship base cards reflecting sailing angles more in line with square riggers. I based these on information from "Seamanship in the Age of Sail", by John Harland.

I felt that Ares was being generous with their angles, perhaps to speed up gameplay? I think my bases may still be generous for the 2 and 3 deckers, but realism must have limits!

Of note, I have switched the decks for 101 and 103, and increased the Amazons to Burden 3. I use Burden 2 as post ships or corvettes. If anyone wants the Concordes and Amazons with the original information, just drop me a line. I'll make up a batch and post them here.

If there's interest for other classes or nationalities, let me know and I'll post the ship bases here.

If you try these, take pictures and post them here and let me know what you think of the bases.
