Finally, a good, clear, honest review of Black Seas, both models and rules … and from someone with some experience with Age of Sail wargaming. Excellent, thanks Joe Legan

Brilliant Joe.

Its nice to see positivity. Most of us newbies like myself accept that these are more of an introductory rules system and that there are more complex rules systems to try in the future. You have to bear in mind many of us won't even know what a Poop Deck is !

Pretty cool, Joe, though the last thing I can afford right now (in terms of time AND money) is another project.

V/R,
Jack

Thank you all. I tried to be thoughtful and honest.
Mysterion. If you don't know what a poop deck is you will like the rules. Just don't say you are going to "full sails"
Jack. This is where the us marines started man!
Cheers
