Pub trivia answer for the day … Sage Meridien. Now, to serious business … Do you play tactical skirmish combat on ships? Boarding (or repelling, depending) actions, mutinies, spec ops missions. That kind of stuff. Boarding …? No, boring!
I have, but it's rare.
Only ICW ship-to-ship combat.
They're a regular part of the rotation.
It seems like someone's always Under Seige. I play them once in a while ICW ship to ship, or not, in a few flavors: - Piracy in the Age of Sail
- Piracy the Age of Last Week
- Piracy … in … Spaaaaaaaaace!
- Spaceship Recovery
- Pulp Tramp Steamer Adventure
- U boat? She's me boat now!
- Under Siege, Aircraft Carrier Version |

I'm planning on it once I get some ships finished. |

I've done some boarding actions in Traveller, but they don't really quite have the feeling of miniatures games. Some stuff I was doing before the pandemic -- fighting in a sort of oversized dungeon, revealed as the players advanced into it -- can be adapted to boarding operations. Maybe next year I'll be able to turn a convention table into a couple of decks of a ship and see how it goes. |

That's pretty much what Space Hulk is, so "Yes." |

The Awful Green Things From Outer Space.
Metamorphosis Alpha.
Azhanti High Lightning.
Space Hulk.
Hmm, zombie outbreak on a cruise ship… |

Robert that spaceship strongly resembles Dark Helmet's vessel, does it do plaid and ludicrous speed?

Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game. The Corsairs of Umbar fighting The Army of the Dead. Not quite 'The Love Boat' your title is alluding to. |

I always considere Space Hulk to be a dungeon crawl. Kill the monsters. Grab the loot. Go home. |

Expected it was a Love Boat game. Actually a fantastic idea |

miniMo said zombie outbreak on a cruise ship … that could be a Love Boat game. I hadn't even thought of that, but now I'm planning it. Definitely repel boarders, though not really a "boarding action". Could also go with terrorists/activists taking over … or aliens, or Cthultists. I had never thought of it until I had seen it here … now I'm planning it! |
