GALLEYS GUNS AND GLORY

1-210320

Table top naval battles with fleets of cannon packing oared vessels covering roughly 1500-1650 for oared naval actions ranging in scale from small corsair raids of a few ships to epic grand battle re-fights such as Lepanto. The rules are designed to work at 'convention level', which means you can learn the rules in less than five minutes, get into action -- making a couple of novice moves or spectacular maneuvers and come away with a story or two to tell at the bar.

Management of each ship and its crew are visual and easy to account for as the crew and damage to the ship are represented on the models- leaving little to no paperwork!

Although trying to capture the essence of the period and referencing strongly the doctrines and tactics of the time, the rules claim no absolute historical accuracy, other than like the galleys of yore are made of wood and are adorned with such opulent awnings, lanterns, flags, and bulwark side trim that would make the Sultan's harem jealous.

We have listed the Venetian and Turkish naval vessels available. Corsairs, Holy League (Papal) and Kinights of Malta listings to follow.
