What is Serenissima
From the publisher webpage:
The rule package includes the booklet - wire bound, with laminated cover - plus playsheets and 'cut outs' (compass, turning aids, etc.) and a 'running example' (a walk through scenario illustrating various rule mechanisms). The rule book includes a full list of vessels; a description of each; an example fleet list; and for those who would like more information on the period, the appendix includes some historical notes and a list of recommended reading material.
The rules allow for battles under oars, under sail, or a combination of the two and cater for anything from a single ship up to large fleet actions. Rod's Ability Chart system is used - a tried and tested method of reducing dice throwing and paperwork.
Serenissima is designed to be user friendly and easy to understand. The rules give an authentic result with a reasonably short time and include all the aspects of warfare at sea during the Renaissance period.
