Dan here.
I retired from the Marines a few years ago, and have been teaching middle school and high school history since. My favorite conflicts to study and now game - the WW I air war and age of sail (Napoleonic times). I used to own and play a number of Avalon Hill games back in the 80s and 90s. I'm starting to get back into gaming.
Over the last few years I've taught my son (he's 12) and some of my students to play Wings of War (WW I), and now I'm planning to introduce them to Sails of Glory (next week in fact).
I bought five British and five French ships and have downloaded the Sails of Glory rules. I've also downloaded some different rule sets and bought a copy of The Clash of Arms Games' Close Action. Since all of my students are new to wargaming, I want to find the most accessible and enjoyable way to play.
I'm always open to ideas and suggestions to make the playing experience engaging and fun for my students.
