Rules on XVI century naval engagements suggestion
« on: 30 August 2017, 07:10:56 AM »
Please, tell me rules for naval battles of the 16th, early 17th century with ship miniatures? Rules that cover features of that time - lack of artillery, meaning of abordage and absence of line tactics.
I know only SpanishFury-Sail! from PerfectCaptain. Any other suggestions?

I hadn't. Any good review on this rules? All AAR I find more cinematographic, leave rules out of stage. As I understand it -  Galleys & Galleons suit for fast play of large battles with simplification of many naval aspects.
Actually I search rules for replacement of "ZVEZDA"-TheShips:ArmadaInvensible  - few ships, high detail of every ship - and using models of that line.

Actually, it is the opposite. Ship attributes are abstracted somewhat to enable fast playing games, but it is best suited to games with a handful of ships at most per player. Wind is a major element of the game, as is the friction of command/activation.

I think there are videos floating about on Youtube showing some American chaps playing the game. Otherwise, there are quite a few AARs written up across the net, many shared on my blog (links above).
