Looking for suggestions for large galley battles using 1:2400 models. Must be able to give a nice easy game to finish in an evening. Would also welcome any sources for scenarios. Thanks. |

If you can find them, the old WRG rulettes for 16th Century Naval Warfare are good and quick. No record keeping, and a surprising amount of differentiation of different galleys. I've used them with people who have no previous experience of naval wargaming, and they work well. Just keep to the turn sequence. |

Alan, go with David's rules. they work!
We played with nearly a 100 ships in a little over 2 hours.

Wow, that is awesome. Always wanted to use my galleys but never found a ruleset that I really like. Would it b possible to have a copy as well at v dot briani at hotmail dot com ? Pretty please…? |

This does sound interesting. Are these (DM's) rules by any chance available on line anywhere (to save the poor man from endless pestering … ) |

I'd suggest checking out the Galleys, Guns & Glory rules from Skull & Crown … we played a large Lepanto game using them and it worked out great for a game with lots of ships (~60) and lots of players (newbs). Here is a pic of the game run at a convention:

The game was also featured in Wargames Illustrated 338 (December, 2015). |

There are the Galleon rules at runtus.org Probably not what you are looking for, but have a look anyway. |
