    I went the other way. I won a second set direct from Ares, but had four ships mats already. Didn’t think I’d ever need 12 ships fighting at once, and a friend was sitting lonely at home during the...

    I was only talking about point values. Specific examples? Incorrect gun values/stats are annoying, but within the game itself, immaterial - so long as the point values reflect the model’s...

    Well after the fact, but Ares maintains a points value list on their site, so you can check out ahead of time the relative strengths of ships that otherwise isn’t apparent from their descriptions. ...

    Had all sorts of weird little glitches to my order, but Roberto intervened and made everything work. Of the five ships on my “Enemy in Sight” (buy) list, found four of them, plus a few WWI Wings.

    Four ships per side is the most I have played with at conventions. But these are designed to be beginner friendly and not go on for hours upon hours, so one ship per player. At home, again, four...

    I currently live as about as far as I ever have from the Pacific Ocean, 40 miles. I miss the smell of salt air when I lived a couple of miles from the ocean.

    Sails of Glory Game Mat on Amazon

    Yeah, I know, not the ridiculous priced ones. $29.99 Prime. After my buy...three left. Only took me two years to get any of these for under list (I’m cheap). Thought I’d give a heads up.

    Poll: Have you actually been on the open ocean?

    In a boat. More specifically, a wind-powered sail boat? Did you actually help handle the craft?

    Everything but the last two for me.

    Though I did polish up the handles so carefully...

    Yes, now I feel the desire to get a third copy. Really would like a Constellation/Congress model from Ares. I suppose a Hebe class would reasonably do for the Chesapeake.

    2nd rates. I’d say 6th rates, but the system isn’t really scaled well for that end of small. United States/President. Constellation/Congress. More development of the Spanish and US in general. ...
