Hi,

I want to play a naval/space fleet based game which would be focusing on the combt of the larger ships than the dog fights of small fighter class ships.

What would you recommend based on the following criteria:

Rules:
simplicity - easy to learn within a few games, won't take a day to understand

Realistic - well in terms of physics of the ballistics, movement of the ships and (if applicable) time for a barrage to hit (or something like that)

Theme - give you the feel of it being a naval/space fleet game without being too detailed and clunky

Figures/Setup components:
Overall - easily transportable (dreadfleet is too big)


Components - well hoping for something that doesn't have too many tokens like mansions of madness or arkham horror

Miniatures - if it has a specific line of figs it's okay if it's an open system then better  Grin

Game play - Can be played in an hour or less.

Thanks for your help guys.

I've been looking for a good capital ship space combat game for a long time too...

You can try Dystopian Wars. They have some in Fortress and a bunch of people from RHGC are playing that game already Smiley

I think I've seen that website before - isn't it still in development?

Looks interesting...
