Something not too complicated. |

Kiss Me, Hardy by TooFat Lardies is my go-to rules for larger actions. |

Dear Charles,
I recommend Nick Wright's "Galleys and Galleons".
With a few rules amendments for squadrons we had 47 ships, 8 squadrons, 6 commanders, all done and dusted in four hours at an average speed of four minutes per squadron: link Jeffrey Knudsen's "Admirals" look great for a squadron based game: warartisan.com/rules Cheers,

My two choices would be Osprey's Fighting Sail Langton's Signal Close Action Fast Play Cheers,

We use wooden ships & iron men on a cigar box battlemat with hexes |

Another nod for WS&IM. I'm comfortable running 5-6 ships of the line at a fast pace. |

I think Form Line of Battle fits for this. the description specifically says "We would recommend that each player should have up to 3 vessels under his command." link |

Yeah, like Fighting Sail. Fun game ! |

As someone else who recently dived into AoS gaming, I would highly recommend that you decide FIRST if you're using hexes or not, as that will save you time and allow you to focus. |
