Oh man, that is amazing! Really reminds me of Gary Chalk's scratchbuilt fantasy navy (as seen in The Magnamund Companion and also I think the Fantasy Warlords), which astounded me in my youth.

Bloomin' excellent work sir! Just need some of those damned river pirates now.

Lovely ship and a cool sail. It reminds me of the classic WD ship rules.

Thanks all. High praise.
I plan on making a few more, the Berleberli and a patrol boat at least. Plus I have a small fleet of fishing boats, skiffs, rowboats, and jolly boats, from various manufacturers in the works. Oh, and I want to build a raft. There by ensuring my adventurerers are never too far away from a beggar.

BTW, I'm glad the beards on this forum are long enough to remember a time when the Evil Sun wasn't just for Orcs. I've had to explain that a few times elsewhere. Must be the Frothers influence.

Really nice work! It would be great to see it in action...

...and reef points would have been awesome!

Shiny! Really well executed.

Indeed. Always good to some nautical endeavour. Kudos to you. ;-)

At one point I had worked out (in my head) a deployment style...maybe I mean battle scenario that represented a battle between two armies on the high seas.

It required building two rather large** ships. I think the deck dimensions were 60 inches long X 20 inches beam (width). Very tubby 3:1 hull ratios.

It worked as follows:
The ships were setup parallel to each other.
All warmachines were deployed to fire from the broadside into the other ship.
They would shoot during the deployment phase as the ships edged closer. Meanwhile units would be forming up on deck (deploying).
Within 3-4 turns the ships would meet at the table center, bulwark to bulwark.
Then a pitched battle would be fought raging from deck to deck.

Essentially the ships functioned as giant move trays or mobile deployment zones.
