Age of Sail Ancients I also like Trireme or rather ED Smith's Greek Naval Rules. Unfortunately, that is not quite how they fought in eons gone by. Shame but I think it's a really good tactical game. If I control more than a dozen ships I will ram myself…. Have fun.

Age of sail. Anything with power becomes a line them up and shoot. Tactics no longer matters. Galley games can be interesting.

Ancients. Another vote for Trireme rules!

irishserb	28 Feb 2019 5:04 a.m. PST
I pretty much enjoy naval gaming spanning a period from about 1880 to about 1980, but can't pick a more focused period as being preferred.
epturner	28 Feb 2019 5:31 a.m. PST
Civil War ironclads, first and foremost. But most floaty things with guns. Eric
