Great models from a generally under-represented time period! Thanks for sharing. I'm not really aware of any rules for ancient naval games, unfortunately, so I'm not much help. BTW, what are the physical size/scale of these models? I can't quite figure out how big the D6 in a few of the shots is ;).

Glad you like them!

Xyston ships are 1/600 scale. The crew/hoplite models look like tiny playmovil.   ;D
