begins to think about terrain for Team Yankee.
Doria and Turtle Ships bundle from Obscure Battle Games takes the player to the age of naval warfare between the 13th and 16th centuries.
The game bundle gives you two games and one extension scenario pack:
You can either play one or the over 15+ historical scenarios, ranging from small raiding action to epic events in Mediterranean, Indian and Pacific Oceans.
…or you can create your own battles pitting Venetian Galleass against Korean Geobukseons or Ottomans Galiots against Japanese Atakabubes (both games and cards can be interchanged).
The Game Features:
Over 30+ medieval ship unit counters, from Caique to mighty Galleass or Korean Turtle Ships
Leader units that come with their own characteristics that portray the actual personalities, like Andrea Doria, Dragut, and Yi Su Yin.
Uses Doria – an ultrafast and simple play system that allows wing/squadron activations.
Some scenarios can be played in A3-sized sheets, but interested players can play far larger scenarios, like Diu, Imjin Battles, and Zonchio. Combat model featuring tactical sensitivity rules that aim to create all the chaos and mayhem of a galley clash, from boarding actions to small-arms fire, as well as naval gunfire, ramming, and immobilization.
Several maps of different sizes for your own scenarios, from A3-sized insta-play ones to larger ones that you can print on your home printer.
A Combat Card system that brings immense playability to each game – with over 60 Combat Cards – you will never play the same battle again.
An easy to read, indexed rulebook, with charts that cover ramming and naval gun attacks, fanaticism, traversing coastal water, and weather effects.
The complexity level is simple to medium (with optional special rules, it scales up to medium & detailed). Just print your maps (customizable even by a color pen) and select the units you want to play, and you are ready to go! No need for length preparations – Just print-and-play!
