Years ago the gaming group dabbled in gaming naval actions with heart of Oak. I always enjoyed the rules, as I thought they captured sailing, and weight of shot, very well. I have the boxed set of Privateers and Gentlemen, which includes Heart of Oak, but had no idea about these supplements: Decision at Djerba
The King Over the Water They sound as if though they are more for the role playing aspect of the system…is that correct? Regardless, I would not picking up a copy of each if anyone wants to part with them! |

Still one of my favorite Age of Sail rules. Yes, the two supplements have an RPG bent but can be used as a campaign shell to create battles. You can still buy them at FGU and DriveThrough in PDF format: link link |

Buy the pdfs and print them. Walter Jon Williams writes a lot of good science fiction too. |

Walter Jon Williams writes a lot of good science fiction too. He also wrote the Privateers & Gentlemen historical action series.

I found a hard copy of The King Over the Water on eBay for a really great price. Just need the Djerba hard copy and I am set. |

I have gamed out the scenarios in those supplements and they were a lot of fun. I knocked myself up a couple of fleets out of balsa wood and paper and went at it. I have always thought that the Heart of Oak rules were fantastic. |

Ran those rules at bunches of cons up and down the
East coast back in the day. |

Total IT noob question. I haven't ever bought a watermarked PDF. Can you print them off (so you can have a hard copy of what you have bought)? |
