wargaming miniatures, including our line of 1/3000 scale naval pre-dreadnoughts

Shop 1. All text and combat charts needed for game play are included below,
the rules are completely free and no purchases are required.
Combat Charts – Download and print sides
one and two on any standard printer. Read the overview for a step by step guide
through each table on the chart. Note that the rules text commonly defers
explanation of chart related mechanics to the overview page, so it is an
important part of the rules, not just a simple guide. The Fast Play version of
the chart generates a higher rate of hits for a quicker game.
