Master and Commander

[boxed version] I understand the production is decade old. That is acceptable. Does what it says - quick play. Very "spaceships with a theme". Maybe it works for anyone completely ignorant of the theme and era. Feels more like an early prototype rules.

A very simple small scale Napoleonic era naval wargame is provided. Rules are very clear and easy to understand and get started. Components are one step above a free P&P game.- Very generic with little or no historical references. Overall I found the system to be an ok starting point for this era naval warfare. It almost seems like a construction kit to build upon more then a complete game.

Preliminary Rating

Strong 8. Fun and fast.

Lots of tall sails packed into a small box. Great for small engagements.
