Weird-O Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Can anyone recommend a good ruleset for ancient galley wargaming? I'm talking about from the Greco-Persian Wars up through the Roman Republic and Empire, possibly beyond. Looking for something that can handle squadrons or MAYBE small fleets, and is either gridless, or has most ships occupying two hexes, as I'm using 1/600 minis that are roughly 4" long to a base, and the map available to me has 2" hexes. I've tried the free version of Corvus 2, and while I rather enjoyed it, my opponent was hoping for a bit more detail than that. On a side note, I've heard that if the bulk of your fleet consists of Roman Seas models printed at half scale, that many of the ships produced by Xyston or Skytrex turn out extremely small by comparison. Can anyone give any advice as to any of those ships that work well alongside Roman Seas? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 My favorite set is Galleys & Galleons. But since it's based on Song of Blades and Heroes, I'm going to guess it's not crunchy enough for your opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckyball Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Trireme is probably the best. But good luck finding it. buckyball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weird-O Posted September 29, 2020 Author Share Posted September 29, 2020 I've picked up Roman Seas, War Galley, and Ad Mare Bellum. Between them, I think I'll be covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
