    Historical Scenarios

    Is there any sort of "one stop shop" where there are standardized historical scenarios? I've perused the forums here and I've seen a number of discussions, but nothing standardized such that up...

    I assume there's some percentage of the SoG market that knows little to nothing about naval warfare in the age of sail and plays simply because it's fun and the ships look nice. Those would be the...

    I wonder if maybe the opposite is true. Maybe it wasn't that they were trying to penalize players for colliding with friendly ships but that they didn't want players ramming enemy ships so they...

    Struggling With Collision Rules

    Movement Card After Mast Repair

    A ship moved using a broken mast maneuver card in the prior turn but during that turn the mast was also repaired. What veer rating does a broken mast maneuver card have when it comes to picking a...

    Yeah the rules are a tad confusing because they seem to say for every two hits you lose a level of sail. So if you take two hits you can't use full sails, but can still use battle sails with no...

    That house rule basically accomplishes the same thing my house rule would do, which is to reduce the impact of fires. I may try my rule a few times and if it doesn't feel right maybe try it your way.
