Hi there, I just published a review of the trireme package offered by WI in January 2023, including a new set of rules. I could sum up my opinion using the slogan of an old spot: for many, but not for everyone… link |

Thanks. I was curious myself! I love your blog. Do you think He Hemetera Talassa – Mare nostrum is still the best option out there? I'd love to see your review of that. |

Are they the same as Delos rules? |

thanks guys! Deucey, very glad you enjoyed. Yes I do think HHT is the best options for fleet games – meaning games were you move and fight squadrons, not single ships. However I did apply some house rules to make it a little less fast and focused on V century, because the set encompass later eras with much larger ships than triereis. I will publish the house rules soon but am still testing a couple of points! about Delos. It is a neat little free set I actually never played, because I tried HHT first and immediately starting working on it. If you are looking for fleet rules you should give it a try however because it seems interesting! and then let us know! |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
