Fleet Action Imminent! General Quarters WWI Rules

This was my first naval war game, and while I had the impression that naval games were complicated, this one was easy enough to play and learn and still felt historical. Has optional rules and variations of rules to make it play faster with larger numbers of ships.

Great set of miniature rules based on ODGW's General Quarters system, designed to accommodate the tactics and capabilities of the world's fleets during the First World War. Relatively fast playing, wealthy in detail without being oppressive, equally fun for large and small actions. Highly recommended.

After reading the rules it appears to be a rather streamlined set of minis rules that still retains a lot of detail for ships.

3 hole punch version.

I was surprised by the very nicely laid-out rulebook. Hits a very nice sweet spot between detail and playability.

This just hits the sweet spot for us. There needs to be some complexity in naval rules or it is just a dice fest. On t he other hand, too much complexity is a big turn off. GQ3 gets it just right.

Preparing for gaming this summer with my 1/6000 German, British and US fleets using the Avalanche Press board games from their Great War at Sea system to create battles and scenarios.
