Anyone seen any mods for playing BFG with age of sail vessels?  I started work on a small conversion towards this end but i'd like to see what others have done.

Isn't that, basically, "Man-O-War"?  Not sure if it can be found online or not.

Haven't seen any, though BFG isn't high on my radar.

Trafalgar is coming out this year though:

http://www.warhammer-historical.com/news.asp

I haven't heard anything about the rules, but Warhammer Historicals puts out some good stuff.

If your interested in non-GW games I'd recommend Fire as She Bears, or Wooden Ships and Iron Men.

How about Unchartered Seas from Spartan Games? I have not played it personally as I am trying to concentrate my limited gaming time on smaller number of games. But several guys have played it down my local club and really like it. Some cool looking mintaures too!!

Cheers

James

I already play Uncharted Seas (I may try a historical conversion of these rules also); see my batrep in the other forum section!

I recently picked up a mint, unpunched copy of Wooden Ships & Iron Men too!

A lot of names being tossed arround this thread. I was wondering if any of you had links to sites relating to these games?

Spartan Games is here:

http://www.spartangames.co.uk/

Man O' War and WS&IM are both out of print. There's a yahoo group though for the former:
