About the game
1974 · SPI · Age of Sail · Naval warfare
Sailing warships maneuver and exchange broadsides in scenarios ranging from single-ship encounters to fleet actions. Wind, positioning, and the condition of individual vessels give the battles their character. A naval board wargame rather than an RPG, it is an appealing subject for players who want ship handling and gunnery to matter, with the procedural detail of its era.
