Okay, I've never played any naval rules . . . and I don't want anything too complex. So what simple rules for the Pre-Dreadnought period do you suggest?

Warring Fleets from Majestic XII is pretty simple. Best of all you can download the core rules and a scenario for free from their website to check it out. It is hex based, but can also be played without hexes if you prefer. One of the things I like most about it that the book includes the table to allow you to convert any historical ship design into game terms. |

"Warring Fleets from Majestic XII is pretty simple." Just thought I'd add a quick correction here. The title is actually "Grand Fleets." A demo version is available on the website. mj12games.com/grandfleets Kevin |

Quickfire is really, really neat. |

"Damned Battleships Again" is good and simple. link "Naval Thunder" is a good system and not complicated: navalthunder.com They have a pre-dread system. We play pre-dreads with 1/600 scale OG ships. At this scale we use small fleets (3-4 ships) and use Seekrieg IV. It's free, but perhaps not for beginners. link |
