Oarful Seas is a fast-play ancient naval ruleset for wargaming fleet actions of 20+ ships per player. Players command multiple squadrons of oared vessels as they ram, shear, board and shoot missiles in an attempt to sink or capture enemy ships. The ruleset is designed for 1/1200 scale miniatures using a 6x4 table. A typical game of Oarful Seas will need approximately 20-30 ships per player. Apart from ships, players need a measuring tape in inches, at least two 6-sided dice (though a few more would be useful), and some way of marking slowed, immobilized and wrecked ships. —description from the publisher
