looks really great.  I like how all you had to do was lay out blue cloth and scatter with your hills and - voila! a sea with some islands.  Looks like a really good game.  So many games, so little time  o_o

The orc ships look cool. How long are the minis?

TT.

An absolutely wonderfully solution for a naval set-up. I'll have to copy that for some ancient naval gaming (I'm planning to buy Eric Hotz's Roman Seas ship pdfs for some fast and cheap fun).

They are gorgeous!

1/300, IIRC, so Heroics and Ros Romans etc could be easily painted up as crew and Marines.

depends on the ship to be honest...The DL Battleship is 15cm long..

If you goto the Downloads area on the main site and look at the token's for the Orc's and Iron Dwarf fleets the ships for them are the same size as the token's..

I was a little dismayed with the seam going down the middle of our ocean but I didn't actually notice it during play.

The hills are the GW basic hill and the four piece modular hill. In our last game we took two of the modular pieces and made a peninsula with it. Quite handy
