POSEIDON'S WARRIORS: Classical Naval Warfare 480-31 BC

1-967014

This set of wargaming rules covers large-scale naval actions between fleets of classical-era galleys -- from Greeks versus Persians at the battle of Salamis to the battle of Actium that decided the fate of Rome.

The rules use an integrated turn system to allow a commander to position ships to go in and ram without being rammed in return, or to employ feints and traps to tempt the enemy out of position and leave his ships vulnerable to a follow-up strike. Includes data for ships throughout the period, rules for famous admirals, historical scenarios, a campaign system, and a brief historical summary.
