What is The Devil at the Helm Naval Warfare 1850-1906
The Devil at the Helm is a set of miniatures rules for naval warfare in the ironclad and pre-dreadnought eras.
From the introduction:
"The years between 1850 and 1906 saw immense changes in naval warfare.
"From lines of stately three-deckers, the great powers' fleets changed to a multitude of armoured warships, each unit of which represented a pinnacle of design and engineering skill. Forces became a hotch-potch of individual ships, differing widely in their abilities and deficiencies, as the older ships mixed with the new. Specialized missions and hostile environments sometimes necessitated vessels of novel and awkward design, such as the river craft of the American Civil War. With these new ships came new and terrifying weapons, destroying forever the world of Nelson and Hornblower.
