Galaxy Battles

[PvK]

I like both periods. If you've never tried galleys, I'd recommend at least checking out the demo if/when it arrives. Galley warfare tends to be sort of half-naval, half melee combat, with some ranged combat thrown in. Lots of options for diverse situations and tactics. I've had a lot of fun boardgaming galley warfare but good games on it are rarer than age of sail wargames (most I've played was Ramspeed, by Metagaming, circa 1985), and if this one is released in good form, it looks to me like it could be quite nice.
