We managed to get more than a few games in over the holidays - it plays quickly and is great fun.

We wondered about DIY ships and therefore points values for each weapon system? We did some house rules that worked well enough, but it was easier to do this by doubling the existing PV's and objecvtive budgets, starting with light guns at 1 point. The only real problem was assigning values for speed and hulls.

As mentioned , I decided to get this game and reading through quickly, it is indeed a straightforward simple abstract game, tat in places echoes the 1970's Seastrike, but beware if you are looking for a detailed game about pre dreadnoughts, this is not it, this is a fun "beer and pretzels" game withthe emphasis on game

The components are clear and easy to put together and the game is easily played on any 3 feet by 3 feet area or in my case dining table. Movement is in inches and turns are made in 60 degree increments - templates are included. Firing is is resolved by a d6 to hit , anotherd6 roll crossreferenced with type and a final d6 roll against an armour save, if hit components are marked off, simple as that.

You can play a simple equal forces game but included is a simple random mission generator based on playing cards, which includes a rather nifty espionage element. I suspect this will be the best way of playing.

Couple of points for the creator, the...See more

So how simple is simple? How do you reflect the gunnery solution crisis of the period? Also, by pre-Dreadnought, what period do you cover? 1905 implies RJW but there were a lot of varying designs afloat then? I would be interested in a review with the games mechanics please.

Suspect this is more of an abstract game rather than pure historical, the title suggests a kind of homage to the wonderful Seastrike Modern Naval game of the 1970's. This is confirmed by the idea of two oppossing powers not named but likely red and blue who have funds to carry out a mission. Gunnery and damage is d6 based so will not be very hard.
I have Geoff's modern naval game and liked that one so. will likely purchase this once xmas is out of the way

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
