Hello! I added some photos of my new project in 1/72 - 2 Roman galleys attacking a Carthaginian at the battle of Mylae in 260 BC. Any comments are welcome. ...
Looks very nice. Are the models complicated to build? How much did the models cost? I'd love to play a Roman Seas game in 1/72nd scale... one day... E.H....
Hello Eric! Up to now there are 3 models from Zvezda (Greek Triera, Roman Trireme and Trireme of the Roman Emporer), a fourth should be released this year...
How small can you practically reduce the size of the ships from 1/300th? Any updates on the release of the rules? I thought I read at one point that they...
Saw in some of the previous post that the Roman Seas rules were to be released in December. Was wondering if there was any estimated release updates? If the...
Yes, Roman Seas is still late :-( I was moving ahead on the rules at a quick pace, but with all the winter storms we had in November and December, we had to...
Don't worry Eric there are many of us out here waiting. I have my 6mm figures being painted now and expect to order the rules and CDs once you are ready to...
Would it not be possible to release the rules "as is" as a public beta version, they have after all been played with for a year now. I know I for one have been...
Hello, I tried releasing rules as a "as is" public beta a few years back with another rules set and it didn't work out very well. It seems that once people...
I'd love to play the battle of Ecnomos! I am not sure just how many ship you need to represent the fleet (or fleets, since separation of the fleets could make...
I was working the game up with 15mm ships at a scale of 1 to ten. I was looking at around 60 ships with eight players per side basically four seperate...
Even in 1/300th scale, this would be very ambitious. Are you planning to make Roman Seas ships for this project? I did build a 20mm scale Liburnian out of...
Eric, Will the rules be available for free or to be purchased. If the later, do you have a price point? Thanks Eric Hotz <erichotz@...> wrote: Hello, I...
Yes we are talking about using your card based ships with either 6mm or 10mm scale and figures. I have enough 10mm AIM to crew up the ships and Steve is going...
The ships look very good so far, Thomas ! 1/72 would be good. I'd love to man the decks of small fleets of triremes with Zvezda's beautiful Greeks and...
Not to mention, the ships are true plastic models, with a lot of fiddly rigging to do if you follow the instructions exactly. Hi; Since the galleys fought with...
Re: [roman_seas] rigging Most ships did not carry masts into combat, but I always wondered about the convoy escorts. They must have been equipped with masts...
Good point about the masts, Chuck. But here's my view of doing large scale galleys, and by that I mean 20mm or 25-28mm scale. Much as I admire Thomas' project...
As the battle of Mylae happens quite accidentaly and the Carthaginians opens the battle immediatly, the masts were most likely on board. As in battle the mast...
I would guess that masts and rigging were left on shore when possible. When carried aboard the racks were likely very simple as they are today. The basic rack...
Hi, Sometimes it seems the ancient accounts indicate masts and rigging could go up quickly in order to flee or come down quickly in order to fight. How do you...

So, I started building a couple of Roman Hexera(sp?) just to get used to the construction techniques. One thing I've noticed is that since I use an inkjet...
Hello, Oddly enough, the only ship I made from an inkjet printout was the Hexera (sp? I am never sure of the spelling -- it is either Greek or Roman). I...
YES, PLEASE, absolutely! Please post the name of this product -- this sounds like just the thing for nautical (and terrestrial) archaeologists. waterproof ...
