John puts the 3D printed galleys supplied by fellow club member Colin into battle. This is a solo battle report using the Galleys and Galleons rules.<\/p>\n

Introduction.<\/strong>
\nRum Baba, an infamous Barbary pirate had been driven eastwards by the Christian warships but was still a thorn in the side of Venice. It was decided to despatch one of the newly built Galleass to their base at Chania in Crete to rid the Mediterranean of this menace for ever. En route, the Galleass and it\u2019s escort were ambushed by Rum Baba and his pirate crews.<\/p>\n

The Opposing Squadrons (details in Appendix)<\/p>\n

The Venetian Squadron comprised the Lanterna Flagship commanded by Linguine, the new Galleass and a small Galliot to act as scout and draw the attention of the Ottomans. The Ottomans comprised Rum Baba in the Lanterna and three swift but lightly armed Galliots.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The Ambushing Ottomans lie in wait<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Move 1<\/strong>
\nThe Ottomans win the initiative roll and will move first each move. At the start of each move every vessel has to roll up to three D6 and roll equal or above its Q value to gain a successful action<\/p>\n

\"\"
This Galliot has a Q value of 2 so gets 3 actions, two of which it can use for movement. The double 3 denotes a change in wind direction one point anticlockwise. This does not affect the Galliots but may affect the Galleass which is propelled by sail.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Galliots rush towards the Venetian Galliot intent on its destruction. Meanwhile, the Venetians move up cautiously and the Galleass takes in sail to maintain formation.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Position after move 1 from the Venetian side. They approach cautiously hoping to get a close range shot in before boarding actions begin.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Ottomans move up and use their final action to open fire at long range. One point of damage is inflicted on the Venetian Galliot from this fusillade.<\/p>\n

\"\"
These two Galliots have a base combat factor of 2. The range is Medium so no firing factors are added. If the target is doubled by the modified dice roll a point of damage is inflicted and the target then has to roll on the Critical Damage table. If the attackers roll is even, it causes one point of damage with no roll on the Critical Damage table.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Venetians move into close range and fire back<\/p>\n

\"\"
In addition to it\u2019s broadside the Galleass is equipped with Chaser Guns which have a combat value of 1. All firing vessels get a plus 1 for close range. BOOM!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The Galleass rolls a 6. This is a critical hit and the Galliot has to roll on the Critical Hit table and sustains another point of damage. It\u2019s hit again later in the move and now has 3 damage points, one more and it will strike. Ouch!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
The Ottomans strike back. The Lanterna causes a point of damage to the Venetian Galliot which closes with the Ottoman Galliot and takes another point of damage so 3 points of damage each!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
As the melee rages, the Galleass makes good it\u2019s escape<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Two Galliots and the Ottoman Lanterna close in on the outnumbered Venetian flagship and the two Galliots who have locked in combat fight to a standstill. The Galliots have the Derring Do special rule and attack with reckless ferocity. In the first round, all base combats are reduced to zero.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Here with base combat values at zero, the Lanterna is up against. Here it loses the combat but has the Veteran NCO special rule which gives a +1 bonus when losing by one or the adjusted roll is tied. Both vessels take a point of damage as the adjusted rolls are now tied.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"\"
With the Venetian Flagship on 3 damage points, the Ottoman Lanterna moves in to deliver the Coup de Grace and Linguine Strikes his colours<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With the Venetian Flagship on 3 damage points, the Ottoman Lanterna moves in to deliver the Coup de Grace and Linguine Strikes his colours
\nWith the Galleass now a dot on the horizon, Rum Baba takes Linguine\u2019s surrender and collects his prizes. He hoped for a profitable ransom for Linguine and whilst He would sleep well tonight in the company of concubines, that Galleass worried him. His captains had been reckless, they would need to be more savvy next time.<\/p>\n
