Steam and Sail Navies

[Timf]

Has anyone had any experience of the ruleset 'Steam and Sail Navies' from Bay Area Yards?

Its for 1:600 ironclads including ACW actions and was wondering if it was worth a look.

Tim,

Can't help you much with this. There's a review here:

You've probably seen this already.

I have an old copy of Fire and Iron that you can borrow. I have half a dozen 1/3000th Navwar French and British ironclads and was planning to use the rules with them.

I am tied to 1:600 as that is my Peter Pig collection for Hammerin Iron....while I enjoy the game it does fix the scenario and style a little unless I get a very big open Hexmat (another option) and doesn't do larger ships of the line and high gun count (above 20) ships very well at all so I was after another set.

If Fire and Iron works with 1:600 then I wouldn't mind a look at them next time you are at the club, please.
