MacGowan Condition UNPUNCHED Counters Contents (Map, Rules, Etc...) are in Mint condition! Box is in Mint Condition! Expansion is UNPUNCHED & MINT SEALED Maneuver Cards Expansion SEE PICTURES Flying Colors: Flying colors recreates naval actions during the geight of the Age of Sail, from small engagements fo full battles involving dozens of ships in each fleet. Play is fast, furious and does not require the pre-plotted movement found in many other naval games. Instead, a simple initiative and command system allows players to activate and maneuver their fleets in a realistic manner, indicating how older commanders adhered to rules of engagement where more forward thinking commanders like Nelson could retain control of their fleets after the first broadsides began to fire.
This is not a strategic level game where one piece represents several ships. Flying colors includes 300 individually named ships rated for size, gunnery, boarding ability and damage capacity. Also included are nearly four dozen individually named commanders, rated for their ability to control their formations as well as the impact of their presence within the fleet. The game system provides what naval enthusiasts will expect in a tactical Age of Sail game: Broadsides, reakes, anchoring, wind effects, weather, shore batteries, and much more. All this is packed into a short, accessible rulebook.
Inclueded with the game are 17 historical scenarios ranging from the Battle of Minorca (1756) during the Seven Years War to the Battle of the Capes during the American Revolution and on through the Battle of Trafalger (1805) during the Napoleonic Wars. The battles range in size from small engagements playable on a single map through huge engagements, like the Glorious First of June, playable on three maps. Most scenarios can be played within a few hours and two players within a day can complete even the largest. Several are also well suited to solitaire play..
