I figured it was best to spin-off the R2 conversation. And yes, the fourth revision's variant of Republique II would be called R2D2!! :D ... No doubt, MR...
Jim, I like the comments on the Republique side of things and would love to see anything you have on naval warfare in sail. What scale were you thinking of...
Jim Managed to work out it was me then - despite the weird e-mail address! Had "stickybombs" in yahoo since the days of tigertank.com. Can't use JG1 cos...
... I'll probably use the Hallmark/Figurehead 1/2400 scale. My guess is that many people (and especially new players) just aren't up to dropping $12 U.S. on a...
Hi Pierre ... If I remember correctly a three minute time frame was used to calibrate the movement and fire effects to each other. But there is no strict...

I've been tossing around a few possible names for the fighting sail rules we're working on. I even considered the obvious "Fighting Sail" but there was a 1982...
Broadside is the name currently used on a computer moderated game. Although the current version is not on the market, visitors to the recent Farnborough...
Heres a few ideas for you all: Running with the wind Close Quarters The Press of Sail (from a quote by Admiral Jervis following Cape St Vincent) The Press...
Yes, Broadside is a good name, too bad it's already used (not for the guy using it!). Close quarters would abbreviate well and it's easily remembered, so that...
Hi all: I've just started going over the 1943 rules and they seem to be just what I have been looking for. However, are there any 1943 scenarios available? Bob...
Hi Bob, That I know of there are no 1943 scenarios. There is a setup page that allows people to prepare their own games with a better sense of how the rules...
Jim All the hard work is done by the computer. The players have the choice of type of shot (single/double, ball/dismasting/grape) and can load different types...
David, Thanks for the info. It sounds like we are going in slightly different directions with the rules, which is good... helps prevent duplication of effort!...
