(Originally published by Hard Cover Designs in the mid-1980s, these rules have been revised and rewritten by the original author, Robin Peck, and David Manley. Many new sections were added to broaden the scope of the rules, from fleet actions out to encompass the whole range of naval activity in the Age of Sail.)
