MadDrB! Glad to see you back around these parts!

That's quite a haul of sailing ships. I expect to see lots of pics of these ships in action!

Yeah, with the sad news about Spartan I feel inclined to return from merely lurking! 😉

Far too many ships for a short game of Sails of Glory, but there are plenty of other age of sail rulesets to use with these.

Have you looked into Osprey's Fighting Sail? The rules are simplified to allow large-scale engagements. Pretty cost-effective too:

I didn't even know Sails of Glory had that many ships available!

I have a review of Fighting Sail on my blog if you are interested in learning more....
