Long Face Games is pleased to announce the release of Those Who Seek Death, a fleet-action-level set of naval rules for Asian naval warfare from the 11th to 16th centuries. The aim of these rules, which draw upon techniques and concepts from LFG's Inferno and Glory rules, has been to develop a set that focuses on the Imjin War, fought between Korea and Japan in the late 16th Century – the era of Admiral Yi Sun Sin and his famous Turtle Ship – but rules, ship data, and information is provided to cover earlier wars in the region back to the 10th Century.
The fast-play nature of the rules allows large fleet actions with multiple squadrons a side or more to be completed in a couple of hours or less. The rules cover the main ship types involved across the period, including a number of unusual types encountered in Asian naval battles, and encompasses not only action afloat but also forts and shore-based troops.
