Note that unless stated, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included. Sails of Glory recreates naval combat from 1650 - 1815. Based on the Wings of Glory game system, it uses miniatures, cards, and board game mechanisms. Each vessel's movement is represented by a special deck of maneuver cards. The game comes with a range of painted and assembled 1/1000 miniatures. Players secretly choose their maneuver cards and reveal them simultaneously. Place the arrow on the card in front of the miniature and move it along the arrowhead. Options vary with wind and sail use in advanced rules. After ship movement, fire guns from the sides of the miniature at in - range targets. The Wings of Glory system has been adapted for large sailing ship battles. The first series is set in the Napoleonic Age, and future expansions may cover other historical periods. At TheGameSteward, we're happy to back campaigns like this.

How to use: First, gather 2 to 4 players. Each player secretly selects a maneuver card from the special deck. Then, reveal all the cards at the same time. Place the arrow on the card in front of your ship miniature and move it along the arrowhead. Remember, the available options on the card change depending on the wind and the sails used if you're playing with advanced rules. After all the ships have moved, fire the guns from the sides of your miniature at targets within range. Note: This is the Kickstarter Edition. Unless otherwise mentioned, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included. Maintenance advice: Keep the miniatures in a dry place to prevent paint chipping. Store the cards in a card protector to avoid wear and tear.
