Trafalgar - Histrocial Naval Combat

[StrategicCommand]

I thought I would post a link here to a great game by Warhammer Historical.  Trafalgar is naval combat game during the Napoleonic High Age of Sail.

Its very much a tactical and strategy based miniature game, as a ships captain you need to remember inertia and the size and scale of your ship since it might hinder maneuverability.  Fire full broadsides, bow and stern chasers and sink or capture your enemies ships.  The game can be played on a various levels scale, from 1/2400, 1/1200, 1/300, to 1/100  there are rules to adjust measurements for all of these.

I currently own two 1/1200 fleets, A British fleet (8 ships) and French fleet (7 ships), about 1600-1825 pts worth without upgrades so lots of fun to be had...

Check out the link below to the post if created in "Other GW games" section.

Just thought instead of creating a new topic I would just resurrect this one. Anyone interested in wooden ships and tossing some cannon balls at each other?

Tried it out last Monday, defiantly looked interesting. Looked at some of the Library of congress stuff to see what maps there were for harbors and stuff. If anything it'd be fun to try to make maps of historical harbors I think. Charlston S.C. as a example is very documented. from 1812 to civil war, not a lot of the big defenses changed. Problem is scale!
