New rules?

Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy08 May 2013 2:01 p.m. PST

Coming by month's end if all works out. Just got the cover art.

GoneNow08 May 2013 2:16 p.m. PST

SO will this cover man to man or ship to ship or both?

Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy08 May 2013 3:25 p.m. PST

On land encounters (man to man) plus ship to ship which can result in boarding parties (man to man).

Awesome! Will this be mostly aimed at squad size skirmishes (like "Long Rifle") or larger more platoon engagements (like "Muskets And Mohawks")?

Been waiting a long time for this! Glad to see it is finally coming!

Okay, you found out I was going to have some cash left at the end of the month, didn't you? Time to sweep the house for bugs again.

Both to some degree. It's like Long Rifle with a man to man flavor but you can get crews up to 40ish on one ship. That means there will be boarding actions as well. It's a campaign game and the ship to ship battles will be a bit different than most if not all.
I will add a Big Battles option for those that get into large numbers of crews.

Been waiting a long time for this! Glad to see it is finally coming!

Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy08 May 2013 9:03 p.m. PST

Well we're shooting for Millennium Con this year. W'll see how it plays out.

Ssendam09 May 2013 5:13 a.m. PST

Is there a place where we can read more about it?

XRaysVision09 May 2013 8:45 a.m. PST

It'd be great to see you at MCon.

Jholen09 May 2013 8:50 a.m. PST

Awesome! Anyone know of any other ships to use other than the Blue Moon range (which look real nice btw)?

Ed the Two Hour Wargames guy09 May 2013 9:21 a.m. PST

I'm working on a detailed AAR so maybe this week.

Sailpower, which produces a number of them, in 15mm.

They just ended a Kickstarter.

If you talk with them nicely, they might still let you in on the project, but don't know for sure about that. There's a link in the message archives.
