Re: Ship Names of the Barbary Wars
While my current project is in the time frame of the Barbary Wars, I'm very interested in the Barbary Navies as well! So, both.
Thank-you for the information on Arab Navies. I will look into that as well!

Three Decks Wargaming Meetup?
Knowing that forum communities are frequently spread all over the globe, I still hold out the hope that a few might be close enough for either a local game or meetup at a game convention sometime. I hail from Oakland, CA in the US, but also sometimes make it to the big US Cons, such as Origins or Ge...

Most of the articles on the conflicts are from a western perspective and don't really provide much de...

Re: Gunnery Ranges in the Age of Sail
In a practical sense, I tend to use these guidelines:
- Pistol Shot - 25 Yards
- Musket / Cable - 200 or 250 Yards (depending on which the rule set in question handles more easily)
- Carronade / Long gun - per the rule set

War By Sail Wind and Turn Aid

Re: War by Sail released!
Though this is much belated, I've only just discovered this set of rules. Congratulations! The ship data is stellar, and more complete than I've seen for anything else. One comment about the play aids that leapt out while I read through... The wind and turning gauges either need to lasso or go under...
