Ships of Blackmoor

[chirine ba kal]

Sorry for taking a while to respond to this. I have been travelling for the last week and writing from my tablet was really not working out too well...

Sure, I still have my DGUTS rules and a box of ships in the closet. The last time I actually played it was at Hurricon 2007 in Orlando, FL. That was just a few months before Dave A's cancer turned up.

DGUTS is really specific to the Napoleonic wars. It could be used for the AWI, SYW and other conflicts in the century before. It would be hard to transition it into the age of steam ships. You could maybe use the sailing and galley movement rules in earlier times.

We actually used a set of rules called Trireme for ancient to renaissance era naval battles.

Very interesting. I wonder if something could be pulled from either DGUTS or Trireme and used in a Blackmoor environment!

Yes, it could - a cutting out raid is a cutting out raid, no matter what you are floating around in. If I recall, neither set of ruls has specific scenarios - Dave used incidents from the Hornblower novels a lot, at least with us...
