I have Poisiodon's Warriors by Osprey but I was wondering if anyone had another idea? Cheers, Paul.

Oh yes, it was Wargamerdale and Hammurabi70... ...and here is the link they discovered:- www.navalwargamessociety.org/rulesonline.html

Free pdf from Stevie's link, or an amended printed version from the SOA website (with templates, etc ..). www.soa.org.uk/joomla/18-games/57-corvus

There is a free set based on Neil Thomas' One Hour Wargaming mechanics on the AMW GroupIO site at

groups.io/g/AMW/files/One%20Hour%20Wargames/1%20Hour%20Ancient%20&%20Fantasy%20Naval.pdf

We had a good game with these at the Sheffield club with a refight of Actium. We have also just tried out a Trafalgar scenario with Napoloeonic rules based on the same mechanics and these are also available on the above website - you will need to register.

Cheers
