Long Face Games is releasing Inferno and Glory, a quick playing set of fleet-action-level Renaissance naval rules covering the period 1450 to 1600.
Inferno and Glory allows large scale battles, such as Lepanto and Prevesa, to be completed in a couple of hours or less. They have been written with 1:2400 scale models based in groups or stands, with each stand representing five to ten ships. A range of suitable 3Dmodels are available for free download to accompany the rules. Bookkeeping is minimal, using simple markers to indicate ship damage and crew casualties. Data for over 30 different broad ship types and ten different fleet lists are included, covering the major fleets and city states of the Mediterranean.
