Title: First solo game of Hammerin' Iron ACW Naval rules
Post by: pcjohnstone on 01 February 2013, 04:43:18 PM

I picked the new version of these Peter Pig rules up quite a while back, but this is the first chance I've got to give them a go - really enjoyable so far (with part 2 to follow)

I recall my foray into these rules at our local club. I chudded forwards, took a hit from an enemy that managed to get the powder store or something and *BOOM* I was out!

The ref let me bring another boat in a couple of turns later, and against all odds, that same player instantly shot me and AGAIN rolled that same result, so I went up in smoke once more. lol

Tis a good game, though!

That's pretty much my experience with any set of rules - if there is a catastrophic result on a table somewhere I will roll it.  :)

Agree with you these are good rules - the critical hits didn't overpower the game but did add some great flavour, like when the Nahant couldn't fire at the ramming Gov Moore because her turret had jammed.

Cheers
