War at Sea and Victory in the Pacific are so light that it is close to current Euro gaming experience (3-5 pages of rules, can be learned in a few minutes, and played in a short time)
I have both games and if anybody is interested, contact me... I also have the Fleet Series from Victory Games, minus 3rd Fleet (planning to get it if I have the money and players to play with), thus I have 2nd, 5th, 6th and 7th fleet. So no need to go to California. If there is interest, I am happy to provide the games. Problem is they are not easy to learn and teach, it is way up on the complicated wargame scale... There are other Naval wargaming games on my want to play list too, but local interest is not high... --- Ken --- On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 12:23 PM, David Douglas <[email protected]>wrote: > War at Sea and Victory in the Pacific are classic light naval wargames. > > My personal favorite was always the Victory Games Fleet Series (2nd, 3rd, > 5th, 6th, and 7th) by Joseph Balkoski. > > Too bad those are all in storage in California.
