Whats ur favorite pre-powder naval rules (incl fantasy!)? |

Don't know how pre-gunpowder it is but I always enjoyed Man-O-War by GW.
Limeys and Slimeys was fun (and w/ guns) too. |

The VERY old "Trireme" Greek Naval Warfare rules. Nothing like raming your own ships when others failed to move. |

I also like AH Trireme. Roman Seas looks good in my read-through, but I've yet to actually play it. Doug |

War Galley still seems pretty popular though ive never played it. |

Ram Speed is my favorite. The Steve Jackson Micro-Game from about 1980. |

I really like Roman Seas, but I've been trying to get a hold of Trireme also. There are a few unclear parts in Romans Seas, mostly dealing with movement. A little logic will solve the problem, but since Eric has been too busy to fix the issues, a lot of players have dropped the game. I don't want to discourage anyone from playing it, just be aware that you will have to apply some thought and home rules as you play. |

I'd say MoW, but it's not really pre-gunpowder. |

There was a set of rules done for GW's LotR ruleset that was for naval combat, they looked pretty neat but I never tried them myself. They had different mechanics for sail vs. rowing or a combination of the 2. They were published in a White Dwarf, and then released on the internet, but it'll take some digging to find them. Edit: Here they are link |

My favourite was always "Ram Speed", published by Metagaming in 1980. I still play that one from time to time, converted to miniatures. I also liked "Trireme". I have the Avalon Hill 1980 edition but the earlier edition was published by Battleline and, according to Boardgamegeek, a company I'd never heard of called Decalset. |

Does anyone know what scale the historical battles are in War Galley? Is it 1:10? |
