Description - Salamis ad Actium NAVAL WARGAMES RULES FOR ANCIENT TIMES 2000BC TO 900AD David Manley 40 pages; recommended scale 1/1200; Fairly complex; quite detailed: 6/10; average game length 2-3 hours; dice required: D10, D6 With these rules you can take command of the fleets of antiquity with oared galleys roaming the Mediterranean, maintaining control of your Empire and keeping the Pirates in check. In those days warfare was up close and personal. The wars between Greece and Persia, Rome and Carthage, The Roman Civil War, all are covered. You can ram, carry out oar rakes, board the enemy, fire archers and ballistae, hurl rocks from stone throwers. An extensive list of ships is provided with their advantages and disadvantages. We have incorporated our usual command system which allows for both good and bad commanders, and which has an effect on the flow of the action. The turn is of variable length and certain actions will only be permitted during an Intermediate Phase which happens at random. A simple campaign system is provided as a basis for those with Imperial ambitions.
