What is 'Floating Castles': Fast-Play Rules for Naval Warfare in the Ironclad Era, c. 1860-1885
Floating Castles are miniature wargame rules to simulate naval warfare during the 1860-1885 period.
The rules cater for any scale with distances measured in yards and speed in knots, converted into inches or fractions.
You'll need D10's as the rules are based around percentage rolls for most outcomes.
The sequence of play is straightforward and is based on alternate moves, with each player moving one ship at a time based on an initiative roll. Shooting is simultaneous but torpedoes and ram attacks have their own placing in the sequence.
