Raked Sterns and Balls of Iron (2:nd playtest)

[DintheDin]

Thank you for all feedback!

They are card board ships from www.russia-best.com.

A very good by! Thank you for the fully pictured AAR, the story was fascinating! 
Eager to see your next playtest and to tell us something more about the rules!

These are some images from my second playtest of "Raked Sterns and Balls of Iron" . There were two new players and two old ones from the first playtest. Sadly we only had two hours of playtime, so we never completed the battle. But to be honest, the english players probably would have won over me and the other spanish player due to having the wind gauge and generally making wiser decicions regarding manouvering.

The new players had a good time and everyone agreed that the rules were easy to learn and understand, although a bit daunting at a first glance.

I agree with them but still am not satisfied. Especially regarding the last image of the ship chart. I thought it was to cluttered.

Regarding moving, wind and gunnery, I think the rules are getting there. The game was fast paced and turns moved quickly.

My next change will be regarding the ship charts.

I wont make a AAR since we did not finish the game, but I still will post some images of the battle.

I would like more information on these rules.  I am seeking a set for 28mm ship combat.  Tell us more as you can.   Thanks for the thread so far!

I did my fourth gametest this weekend and this time very few rules needed changing. So as soon as I have the time, I will publish them for you
