Wooden Ships and Iron Men is a fun game with lots of great historical flourishes. There is an online version for those late night sessions when all your mates are asleep.

The great thing about it is it stays true to the boardgame, you can play against your friends and it is turn by turn so you don’t waste hours of your life every night. 5 minutes or so tops and you are done for the day. One of these days I have to finish my Portuguese fleet for Steve Reid’s campaign.

Most of the things you assert happens to be supprisingly appropriate and that makes me ponder why I had not looked at this in this light before. This piece truly did switch the light on for me as far as this specific topic goes. Nonetheless at this time there is one position I am not really too comfortable with and whilst I make an effort to reconcile that with the core idea of the point, allow me see just what the rest of your subscribers have to say.Very well done.

Turns out we had a great time. We ran two battles; one was a French 74 with a French 32-gun frigate (crack crews) versus three British 32-gun frigates, as our ship-of-the-line Captain believed he would be blown out without the extra ship — he wasn’t; they caused all three to strike in short order, as the 74′s range and weight of metal was overwhelming.

So we re-ran the game, this time a British 74 (crack) against five French 32-gunners with average crews. The game went almost 20 turns; the Brit finally had to strike when the last remaining frigate managed to clear the last of the sail from the 74 – and with only 2 hull boxes left on the frigate. It was an amazingly close-run thing, and frankly I’m not certain that the French wouldn’t have had to scuttle 2-3 of their struck ships just to raise the necessary prize-crew for the 74.

The club has decided that this is the manner in which we will, in future, decide all naval combat in our Pirates campaign, as the other rules we were using suck.
