A few fotos of the reinforced fleet having at each other. All ships are Threes,
The land is polystyrene. Temple is a 3D-printed Parthenon (not finished painting it yet, those metope friezes are tricky at this scale....).

good looking scenery and ships. Question regarding rules. I am looking for a set that will allow large scale ancient fleet actions that will play fairly quickly. many of the rule sets that I have read are better suited for only a few ships per player. any recommendations?
ReplyDeleteMy biased answer would be 'my own'. I have a set of 1/3000 for use with Outpost's tiny ships. The problem is always space. At 1/600 only a skirmish is possible outside a dance hall. You need more than 3 metres for 2km of battlefield. 1/3000-1/3600 makes original battlefields doable on a table. I hope to have a booklet for sale at easter. Otherwise try to make your own. I know of no recommendable set. Ad Mari Bellum(To battle from the sea -a pirate raid ?) is ok for tens of ships. Poseidon's Warriors is not much of a game.
