What is Fire As She Bears!
Fire As She Bears! - 2nd Edition is a set of wargaming rules for re-fighting naval actions from the age of sail. It is suitable for ship models of all scales from 1:2400 to 1:1200 to 1:900. The game is primarily designed for the Revolutionary & Napoleonic Wars, but with some modifications can be used for earlier eras.
Fire As She Bears! is of easy to moderate complexity. Most of the game's rules are fairly intuitive after you have completed a scenario or two. The emphasis is on fleet actions. Players act as squadron or fleet commanders rather than individual ship captains. Fire As She Bears! allows you to experience the chaos of naval combat without written orders or cumbersome paperwork.
The 2nd Edition rule set is published in PDF and JPG format. There are over 30 pages of rules, numerous tables and sailing charts, 25 pages of full color examples of play, three sample scenarios, over 80 pages of ship record sheets, and an Excel® spreadsheet for creating other ship record sheets. Included are the standard rules, as well as, optional rules for Forts, Night Actions, Fog, Fireships, (etc.) and special rules applying only to Frigates and Sloops.
