SALAMINI ("Oh Salamis!") is a simple but not simplistic game of trireme battles during the Classical Greece period (500-336 BC). Rules are just two pages long, but include all the features of ancient naval warfare (shooting, ramming, boarding), are fast and fun but also tactically challenging. A small and quick naval encounter can be fought between two squadrons of 8-12 triremes, or a bigger battle can be arranged, for a standalone game or as a part of a campaign. A link to a free STL file of a 1/1200 trireme is provided in the rules. Published by Deadly Simple Games on Wargame Vault link |

Can these rules handle the 300 odd ships on each side at Salamis? |

If you have enough models, space and time to handle about 370 vs 1200 galleys, I'd say yes (the rules are really simple and fast) otherwise you can assume that 1 model on the table represents 10, 20 or 30 real galleys |
