Raiding game
« on: September 11, 2017, 05:06:15 am »
Has anyone seen a historical/fantasy version of dropzone?

Edit: Maybe something like Fighting Sail and On the Seven Seas, not sure how either of these play?

They are not like Dropzone at all....

If you want to know more about Fighting Sail you can check my review here:

And On The Seven Seas you can check here:

That will give you some insight into these games.

Nice reviews, but it sounds like they'd play pretty much as I thought.  I was thinking a map based campaign, using Fighting Sail for naval battles and On the Seven Seas for landing parties.  It does sound like I could find better games to combine this way though.

Take a look at Sovereign of the Seas by Columbia Games for the map portion. GW's old Trafalgar isn't awful with a few mods and there is always Heart of Oak.  David Manley's Grand Fleets (IIRC?) is good for big battles.
