He Hemetera Thalassa, Mare Nostrum A quick playing set of fleet action level Ancient naval rules covering the period 2000BC to 900AD, allowing large scale battles such as Salamis, Actium and the battles of the Peloponnesian and Punic Wars to be completed in a couple of hours or less. They have been written with 1/2400 scale models based in groups or stands, with each stand representing 5 to 10 ships. A range of suitable 3D models are available for free download to accompany the rules. Bookkeeping is minimal, using simple markers to indicate ship damage and crew casualties. Data for over 30 different broad ship types and nine different fleet lists are included, from the Egyptians and Sea Peoples, through classical Greek and Roman to fleets and ships. —description from the publisher
