Anything up to dreadnoughts would work although one would normally expect what are in effect skirmish level games to have skirmish level of detail type rules. <br /><br />With my current domestic situation small games that do not take up lots of time are definitely my ‘go to’ at present!<br /><br />‘Cartoony’ style ships work well and Bob Cordery has been using this technique for his models for years and to a lesser extent so have I. I will be keen to see your take on the galleys, dromons and longships!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-53451188886218070532022-03-26T11:39:01.004+00:002022-03-26T11:39:01.004+00:00Hi David -

I've been looking at thenaval possibilities as well, although perhaps a little more skeptically. BUT I have foung some interesting looking pictures that suggest 'cartoony' ('chibi-Maru) style galleys, dromons and longships (plus some cog transports). <br /><br />Food for thought!<br />Cheers,<br />Ion<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.com
