I have been trying to shoehorn some of the fleet action rules I own into something like this – to little success. Seems I shall need to stop now and buy into this! |

This does look interesting for smaller actions.

EDIT: And, if David Manley says a set of naval rules are good, then they're good. |

I'm most interested in details of its encounter system (if I'm reading the advert right)? Scenario generation, mini-campaign mechanics? (to me this is what would be "fresh air") |

ok, give us something… what is new and interesting about it, a good note from Mr DM is certainly a good omen so I'm very curious.. Francisco |

what is new and interesting about it Probably the single most innovative thing is the movement system. It's quick, intuitive and easy to learn but retains a high level of realism (the authors have between them some 80 years experience with sail, including time as a volunteer on the oldest full sail barque in active service). So when it comes to sailing, they know what they're talking about. The movement system also allows each ship to have unique sailing characteristics (no 'all 3rd rates move like this' and 'all frigates move like that'). For example: The US super frigates were built to the same plan. However, they did not have similar sailing characteristics; United States was known for her less than stellar sailing qualities when compared to her sisters (there's a reason why she was nicknamed 'the old waggon'). That's reflected in these rules. In addition,there are full rules for cutting out operations and shore raids (something very common in this period). |
