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

James

Feel free to use my pirate ship action rules. Copy sent by PM. They at least will do for your tinkering.

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

(not saying that in a bad way of course).

This is also relevant to my interests.

I've never played Blood, Bilge and Iron Balls but it's had decent reviews.

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

Other options: Flagship Games did a set called "Pirates" and there are the "Cog Wars" family of rules which span ancients through to the Renaissance and IIRC Pirates era.

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

I am always fascinated by James' hints towards a new project

Should I be painting those 10mm figures?

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
