Very cool fleet action. <br />Any rules that can handle that many ships really needs to have a good level of abstraction, though can still be enjoyable. 😀Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340930167419307092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-51451366836039492132019-05-16T02:22:02.539+08:002019-05-16T02:22:02.539+08:00I can email you my changes if you want to see them...I can email you my changes if you want to see them?Drew Jarmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16917651375834541415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-27791197632823030932019-05-15T07:45:53.287+08:002019-05-15T07:45:53.287+08:00These rules are not a sailing simulation by any me...These rules are not a sailing simulation by any means. I must admit I like Galleys and Galleons and It's Warm Work, so that tells you where my nautical skills are at.<br /><br />More so than land battles, I believe a lot of naval action is in the cat and mouse game of trying to catch the enemy fleet at a disadvantage. I haven't seen that in any rules. The strategic context was what seemed to drive fleet actions, as distinct from frigate encounters.Sun of Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07315805432481558574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430244424351512966.post-25607534051462459882019-05-15T05:59:52.659+08:002019-05-15T05:59:52.659+08:00Much to the annoyance of the authors I rewrote the...Much to the annoyance of the authors I rewrote the rules to better reflect how ships actually behaved at sea in real winds rather than their simplistic and totally inaccurate rules.
