What is Death on the Seas
From the rules:
"This game is designed to provide simple and easy to use rules for fighting small scale naval battles featuring around half a dozen ships per side. The rules are written with 1/600th scale ships in mind, but it would be possible to use other sized miniatures...Death on the Seas is historically set in the 5th Century BC, during the Persian Wars, but the rules feature statistics for ships from both earlier and later periods.
Several of the core mechanics for this game have their origins in the 5.56mm game and will therefore be familiar to anyone who has read those rules."
