What materials are recommended for basing the ships? I'm going to get started with some ship building here in the next 3-4 weeks and I wanted to lay in the...
All the Roman Seas ship models in the Roman Seas gallery (built by Eric Hotz) are based onto cold press illustration board. This is about three times as thick...
I base my ships on 1/8" hardboard. Hardboard is definitely too dense and hard to cut with a knife though, so is more difficult to use with out shop tools (I...
Brian, thanks for the idea about the wood, but since I don't have saws I think I'm going to have to go for Eric's suggestion of cold pressed illustration...
... Eric, I just picked up a sheet of this material, but it doesn't look at all as thick as the material you use. The material wasn't much thicker than...
Lloyd, The illustration board I use is between 2.5mm and 3mm thick. The product name is: Peterboro Illustration Board Rough Surface No.PK5. There is also a...
I just received the last of the edited Roman Seas rules from my editor last night. I now have to go through all the section references in the rules to make...
If any of you happen to be going to Historicon next weekend, I will be running a game using Eric's Roman Seas rules. Eric has provided me with an advance copy...

Howdy Yall, This might have been asked before, I am new to the group. Can these ships be scaled up or down? If so, what would be the largest and smallest that...
Roman Seas ships can be scaled up or down. You are limited by your printer's output size (example: 11 x 8.5, 11 x 17, etc.). The smallest I have heard of so...
I have fooled around with 54mm scale having built one ship and the lighthouse. The results were acceptable, but since everything is 8x to 9x the 6mm scale, one...
[roman_seas] Roman Seas: Pre-Historicon Game I just found this BLOG, apparently posted today (July 17th). I sent a PDF version of Roman Seas rules to Brian...
Yeah, Mik is one of our little group here in Knoxville. He's a guy who mostly plays Sci-Fi and such and dabbles in historicals when he comes to our games. As...
Greetings! I just joined the group this evening. Eric informs me that I am the 200th member, so in keeping with the 'hundreds' theme, I'm trying to make this...
First off, I'd like to again thank Eric for his help in pulling off not only in getting me an advance copy of the rules, but also providing prize support in...
Like many other folk I have had the ships for quite a while, they have been completed and I have played around with various rule sets whilst waiting patiently...
Brian; Thanks for the review of the rules, they sound first rate, looking forward to a chance to purchase them ASAP. The link to the blog describing the...
Is there a timeline as to when we can expect this? It is important to me to see at least a litle bit of how what I am getting will be like before I invest...
Hello Ed, Miniatures are mounted thus: Heroics & Ros: 3 Figs to a stand Baccus: 2 figs to a stand Baccus and Heroics & Ros do not mix well due to the...
Eric, About a month, maybe two months ago, you messaged the group there would be some new photos of a Roman city built by a member and that you would be...
Ed, Mark Foster is building a Roman port city using Roman Seas building models. A number of the models were scratch built using many Roman Seas building...
Ed, My figures were based in whatever way I could base them to get them ready for the game at Historicon! However, I'm thinking about remounting my figures as...
I should have noted that I also colour code my miniatures and their bases: Heavy Marines: Miniatures's tunics/cloaks are painted Red or Blue depending which...
I have my current batch of marines painted in "fleet" colors to some degree. Half are wearing light blue tunics and have blue shield patterns. The other half...
Hello to All: This is the link to Mark Foster's Roman Port City. I have uploaded a button on the Roman Seas Gallery Page which directly links to Mark Foster's...
Couple of quick questions. 1)What's the status on the "Roman Seas" rules, are we still likely to see them some time in September? 2)Are there any US...
