Emergency Miniature Work - 15mm USMC Super Cobra
Live Stream for LETTERS OF MARQUE - Age of Piracy
The Sitrep Podcast is taking a turn toward the argghh! with Letters of Marque, a light naval wargame designed for the Age of Piracy.
This is in response to our recent Facebook poll where our community cast the most votes for pirate-related content. While others on our team gear up for miniatures and terrain tables, I’m getting the ball rolling with some community wargaming in this fun and interesting period.
This will be a live game with members of the Sitrep Team and the Sitrep / OTT community, sure to be a blast!
Now, the rules don’t say we have to be drinking rum while playing …
howwww-ever …
There are six ship types in this game. From biggest to smallest, they are War Galleon, Frigate, Merchantman, Barque, Sloop, and Pinnace. We have virtual playing pieces for all types, as well as ship sheets (relax, nowhere near as involved as Darkstar), a map, game function pieces, etc. Simplified mechanics for real-life sailing and wind are included, as well as crew casualties, fire, loss of sails, boarding, etc. This is a fun, LIGHT game (Dennis Ugolini, designer) which I hope will adopt well for virtual community play.
Great fun – thanks @oriskany
No worries, @rasmus – it’s a light, fun, fast game. 😀
