So, today I managed to get the first galley playtest on the tabletop.
We first started with a 1 on 1... wich worked fine.
And after a short coke break we pitted 5 on 5 galleys of different nationalities.

Just get a few pics together...:)



The rules worked fine for me....but I need more playtests....:)

Cheers,
Don

Bloody lovely!  :o

What ruleset are you using?

And do you mind if i ask who makes that mat?
never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.

They are really beautiful! Eager to see them in action!

I'm trying REALLY hard to save money and dedicate my time to a single project.

But i REALLY like these galleys and the more you do, the more i want to have a go at making some Renaissance pirates. lol

A thought just occurred... How big are these? I've been looking at them as if they were TEENY TINY, But that if that's a 1cm grid then they must be what, 15cm LONG? !  :o

Either way I'm amazed, I just want to know what KIND of amazed i should be.

Don,

What ruleset are you playing with? I am curious to try my hand at this but I know only the Poseidons Warriors set from Osprey and that one left me cold.
