Title: 28mm naval rules
Post by: OSHIROmodels on 15 June 2014, 09:21:52 PM: Putting it here as its a broad question :)

I'm looking into doing various periods with ship 'combat' and need a set of rules that can be tinkered with.

The time range will be from Roman up to late Victorian, a broad span I know but all I'm after is some very basic mechanics for movement and boarding etc. guns etc I can sort out later. If the rules could include oars and sails that would be great.

Thanks in advance anticipation :)

cheers

Cheers Gary, will certainly have a look and butcher if necessary :)

I've also a new copy for sale on my website - http://diplomatist2.wix.com/diplomatist-res#!books/cee5 (http://diplomatist2.wix.com/diplomatist-res#!books/cee5) - for £7.50 lol

Yes. Pirates! 3rd Edition allows you to play with Roman triremes all the way to ironclad monitors and submarines! Also, historical and fantasy crews.

Post by: OSHIROmodels on 21 June 2014, 02:41:36 PM: Nothing new chaps (well, some of it is...).

I need a catch all set for my samurai, Edo period steamships and the eventual roman ships I intend on doing.

It'll be good if it works for any period as our current two rules sets seem to do :)

cheers

If possible could I have a copy of these, to be adapted for possible colonial gunboat games.

Thanks
