A Naval Outing

Thanks to a message from the future, I discovered at the last moment that yesterday was International Naval Wargames Day. Thanks, Kaptain Kobold!

I decided to do a quick naval game. I settled on a Dominion of series variant called Dominion of the Oar and Ram by Mark Cordone. I found it on The Portable Wargame Facebook page.

I used my squadron counters, which come in 3 sizes. In addition, I have a couple of transport counters (such as the top center counter below).

I did not keep a record of the game. It's a generic Red vs Green battle. Red is trying to capture Green's transports.

Here you see the final turn. Red's large galleys flank and  board the transports, ending the battle.

Anyway, thrown together quickly so it did not capture my imagination. Hence the abbreviated report.

Some Thoughts on a Little Lissa

As I was toying with a backstory for last night's game, I thought about doing Lissa. After all, I've been in an 1866 mood. Ultimately, I choose to put Lissa aside for the moment. But now this whole experience has me thinking.

• A Dominion of variant should be able to handle Lissa.
• I'm not sure if my current squadron counters (seen above) work for later naval conflicts. I worked up some counters in line formation. They might work better.

• I also need more flag tokens to mark defeated squadrons.
