After a couple of weeks messing around with some WW2 games, it was time to play some games from the 6x6 challenge list. So far I have not played any 6x6 games this month.
From my 6x6 list I have completed playing through five of the six rulesets, and only have outstanding the ruleset Galleons and Galleys by Ganesha Games. I played two games using these rules way back in April. Since then I have somewhat forgotten the rules, and so to remind my self of the rules my third game would be a simple affair with a privateer ambushing a Spanish Galleon.
Privateer (Q3 C4)
- Chaser guns
- Galleon rigged
- Razee
- Trained gun crew
Spanish Galleon (Q3 C3)
- Chaser guns
- Galleon rigged
- High castles
 |
| A Spanish Galleon in the foreground is surprised by a Privateer. |
 |
| A couple of islands and small reefs make up the terrain |
 |
| The Privateer quickly closes and just manages to get a broadside off |
 |
| Both ships manoeuvred to gain an advantage |
 |
| broadsides are exchanged with both ships suffering hits |
 |
| The Spanish Galleon managed to skip free from the fight after suffering a couple of hits |
Looks nice, very very nice!
ReplyDeleteThank you. The sand coloured felt and lichen works surprisingly well for the islands.
DeleteLooks lovely and a ton of fun, I like the rocks in the sea that ships can be 'dashed' against.
ReplyDeleteThe rules work well and give an enjoyable game even with one ship aside. The islands turned out better than expected. Thanks.
DeleteGreat looking table, islands and reefs look great. Love the 2D ships, what's your source?
ReplyDeleteCheers, Peter
Thank you. The 2D ships are from Peter Dennis' book Wargame the Spanish Armada. The book provides lots of cut out sheets which you photocopy and mount up. It also comes with its own set of rules.
DeleteThanks, I'll keep an eye open for that.
