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:
link 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. Jim |

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