Post subject:  Inquiring about Napoleonic Naval Warfare Games

I have a mate that is keen on Napoleonic Naval Warfare, as am I. I've begun reading Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey series. It has inspired me and my opponent. So I'm looking for a nautical game set during the early 19th century. Preferably the models will be of a 10mm scale and as I am, as well as my fellow Tactical Commanders are used to, very detailed. Otherwise why else paint them? ::)

So I have been searching but to no avail. Any help from the historical gamers or possibly someone who chanced upon a game that fits my criteria may help steer me in the right direction.

I thank you in advance,
-Christopher

Osprey's Fighting Sail is a good place to start. It is good for people who don't want to get into the usual rivet counting of the period's rules. I have a review of it on these very boards somewhere, or you can just see it here:

It seems that there are tons of rules for a very reasonable price but no ready made miniatures that I can find. I'd love to play it however, I'm afraid my modeling skills are not up to par to completely make a small miniature ship.

Not sure if this will be of interest and your research may already have thrown it up, but here goes:

Capitan Games are about to launch a 10mm scale rule set called Full Captain, the rules are on kickstarter here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studiocapitan/post-captain-10mm-tactical-naval-rules-plus-ships

They also do a range of ships and accessories here:

For short fun games I use:

Galleys and Galleons http://www.wargamevault.com/product/154156/Galleys-and-Galleons
Kiss Me Hardy https://toofatlardies.co.uk/product-category/kiss-me-hardy/


I also use 1/2400th Tumbling Dice ships, which are ‘ready to go’ but they may be on the small side for what you want

If you can still find copies, there is always GWs ‘Trafalgar’ which got good reviews at the time of release:

Sails of Glory may also have some stuff you would like. It is designed more for 1-on-1 type battles using the Flightpath system.
