    I’ve played 4 other sailing ship games. They have all had either counter intuitive elements, been overly complicated, or to simple. Of all the previous games played, probably enjoyed the Wooden Ships, Iron Men, Avalon Hill board game the most.

    After reading through the rules, I’m extremely intrigued with this rule set. They look very promising, even if a little generic. I do not own, but have played quite a few games of Cruel Seas, and the variance from that system to this system seems just right.

    So has anyone developed a QRS or any other player aids yet? What scale ships do you intend to play with. I’m going to use 1/1000 Ships remounted on 3″ x 1″ wooden bases.

    The QRS in the back of the book is good, but I’m almost finished with a double sided QRS. The problem with the book QRSs is they are extremely hard to copy and get square.

    Also, working on custom ship cards.

    Good to hear about the custom cards. Are you working on a xebec? It’s a type of vessel not listed in the ships’stats section, but is mentioned in the US Navy/Barbary pirate section.

    Doing a conversion for a Xebec shouldn’t be difficult. You can get lots of accurate Age of Sail info from this website:

    https://threedecks.org/

    On a quick serch I found USS Champion (8) Guns

    Unfortunately, not a lot of details for that particular ship, but Three Deck lists 145 Xebc.
