I remember Landlubber playing some Battlestar Galatica games at Historicon a few years back. And I remember nearly buying some vipers at a booth in the vendor's hall. But now with a new computer game coming out based on BSG and realizing that I'm just not all that much of a Star Wars fan, I want to put together a BSG version of X-Wing. My big goal for 2018.

Oh, and also set up at least one big Age of Nelson game with customized fast-play rules and all the Sails of Glory models I bought at a steep discount in 2017.  ;)

Also, planning an even bigger Ships of Renown event at NOVA Open next September!

I am hoping to play anything over the next year, but hopefully some Age of Sail stuff, as I get ready to playtest my Napoleonic rules I have been working  on.  Looking for volunteers....  8)

If they're fast to play, I'm looking for some fleet rules to use with my Sails of Glory ships! Sails of Glory is a great game with only a couple ships per player, but too unwieldy for big fleet battles.  ;)

Have you looked at Osprey’s “Fighting Sail” yet? 

Let me know when you do a play test...I might be able to make it up if it’s in Fredricksburg!

I’d really like to play Firestorm Armada, but since the closest FLGS where someone might play is over an hour away, and I have no idea if anyone is still playing, that’s probably not going to happen.

There might be a review located in the Historical Wargame section. :)
