"Frigate vs. frigate action" Topic

Here's an AAR of a pair of frigates going at each other.

Enjoy!

Have you played many of the large-scale engagements the rules are designed for?
If so, how did they stack up with regards to the playability you found to work so well with the single ship action?

Nicely done! Interesting modification and it certainly seemed to play well for frigate-on-frigate

Mini – I played a five vs. three scenario previously using the standard rules. They worked really well.

Here's a link to that battle:

I find they have enough detail but keeps things very simple -- turning into the wind? A D6 roll decides whether you keep the wind or drift the next turn. Broadsides are a number of D6 based on ship size -- long range hits are 6s, short range 5 or 6. British ships reroll one miss; French have an advantage in boarding actions.

I read the rules twice and have played two scenarios using the QRS. I haven't done a big scenario yet because I don't have enough ships. They work really well for me.

Good reports. Makes me want to pull out my ships next year and try this rule set, which I have.

Done! Going to hop on Wargames Vault tomorrow and pick these rules up.
