are you even texturing properly if you don't put elaborate signatures in the unused bit of the UV

Oh that's awesome! good to meet a fellow rules writer.
Can you give me a quick run down of roughly how they work? I'm guessing you read a bunch of history about the period and then tried to come up with ways of representing it simply?
Looks awesome!
how do you find the rules? looks like a good scale for ancient naval battles
War by Sail rules:
Took me 9 months to research and playtest. My partner thought I was nuts entering in all the stats for like 1200 ships and adding up the points values on a calculator... nowadays I use excel for points valuesπ€£

Some more photos from last game. Next game (this time using the War by Sail rules) will be much more balanced. It's a fairly simple but accurate system. Ships take time to be worn down, and (generally) don't just magically sink in 1 turn. Each dice you roll is an actual gun on the ship too!

Last time we used Osprey's Fighting Sail, but they're pretty whack... French 1st rates literally sailing rings around British 1st Rates. Physics doesn't work like that π

Did they not have time to score it, or was it a deliberate choice not to have music? #filmmusic #music

Today's Listening (probably last month's listening!?)
Bach's St Matthew Passion. Fell in love with this ever since it was in our music history class many years ago. Bach's passions are sublime masterpieces, especially when played on period instruments!

Publish it on drivethruRPG. All you need is a PDF and people can buy it and you can do printed books on demand. Pretty painless setup. I publish on wargame vault (drivethru for wargames) and was surprised when my first games (very basic word files) started to sell. I quickly upped my art/cover gameπ€£
