HI everyone!
Well I have finished playing my Naval Wargame to celebrate the International Naval Wargames Day.
I pained up one more of my 6mm Viking ships, the one with the blue and gray sail in the pictures, and I build a paper 6mm Saxon Wolfship from Roman Seas PDF ships. The ships were fun to paint up and build and I think it allows for some interesting future games. I don't know of anyone making 6mm Saxon ships in pewter.

Two small Viking ships out looking for a fight! |
|
The Wessex Ship! |
|
The rules! |
Today, I used a new set of rules today, I wanted something that covered the
Vikings and other nations and I found Ad Mari Bellum over on Wargamers Vault.
They are intended for larger battles but it worked out just fine with my small
number of ships.
It was a simple scenario, attack each other and see who wins the day. The
Saxon ship is from the Kingdom of Wessex and the two Viking ships are Danish
Vikings.
|
The Wessex ship gets to move multiple times due to random activation. |
|
The Danes move in a coordinated way. |
|
Still closer. |
|
The Wessex ship moves into missile range of the Vikings.
|
|
The Wessex ship fires arrows at the Viking ship and kills some of the crew. |
I used my coins that I make for damage and casualty markers.
The silver coins represent losses of crew and the gold coins represent damage
to the structure of the ship.
|
The Vikings get the first activation of the second turn and
both ships contact the Wessex ship.
|
|
Now all ships get to fire missiles at each other.
|
|
Here are the dice rolls, things are looking good for the Vikings.
|
|
The Danish ship with the blue and gray sail scores structural
damage on the Wessex ship.
|
|
The Viking ship with the red and black sail cause loss of crew on the Wessex ship. |
|
The Wessex ship fires back at the Danish Viking ship it had
shoot at before and scores a structural hit.
|
|
Now to the ramming, the dice show the unmodified dice rolls.
|
|
Here are the modified dice roll for the ram between the Wessex ship and the Danish viking ship with the blue and gray sail. |
|
The results of the collision are that the Wessex ship is
wrecked, which means it starts to sink!
|
|
The victorious Danish Viking ships continue their travels.
|
|
The winners!!! |
|
|
The game was fun and the rules worked well, they are designed to all for
large battles so I guess I just need to paint up more Viking ships and build
more Saxon ships and we can have some big naval battles.
I hope you all enjoyed this, I know I did.
Have a good week!
Nice game..I really like your Viking ships!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely Vikings! I might need to invest in a couple for Galleys & Galleons...
