And here are some pictures of various games

Western Approaches 1651

Sfax, Tunisia 1683

Vlie estaury 1666

Many of us have read about "those far distant, storm-beaten ships" and their great battles, but this looks like something that could be really fun and interesting in a Horatio Hornblower sort of way. Something that could be a campaign, as Midshipman Smith works his way up through the ranks (or gets shot down in his first action). Also, maybe not a massive investment of time and money. Let us know how this works out, please.

Very atmospheric photos, by the way--reminds me of drawings and paintings of ships in the 1600s, 1700s and 1800s.

Thanks Donnybrook is a pretty well established system with a Facebook group in excess of 700. The naval extension was long overdue. It should be available within a couple of weeks.

Looking forward to it!

Looking good there.

Thanks for sharing your photos.

We are nearly there with it. Should be out in the next 2-3 weeks.

so is this a new set of rules or an expansion to donnybrook?
Donnybrook has pirates so is this mainly how to fight the battles at sea with ships?
thanks

Nice water. What are you using there?

This is an expansion.The core book does not have specific rules for ships. This also has naval characters. It deals with ship to ship combat and the use of 'soldiers at sea'. The core rules apply in most cases with little or no modification.

Oh, and the water –

I paint these boards by hand and then finish them with yacht varnish.
