That looks like the games I played when I was in school. Home-made ships are great fun.

I ran this event at Spartacon and the simple rules allow the players concentrate on the game rather than charts and gun tables. Our gaming group(The Colby Street Irregulars) run two local conventions and we try to find events that can be used to introduce miniatures gaming to the general public. The gentleman at Spartacon could have run this game without me after the first turn. And although it is a simple set of rules, you have to pay attention or your fleet won't be coming home.
Thanks for the kind remarks.

Cheers for the home fleet! Great concept and execution (love the submersibles dual nature). The hobby lives because folks still have the drive to make for themselves what they can't find or afford.
