Nefs & Galleys

 Extensions

 

The Extension

 

NEFS & GALLEYS is an adaptation of the naval rules of VIKINGS to the medieval world. The major evolution is the use of sails, which adds a new tactical level to the game.
This extension was first published under the name Byzance into Claymore in 1997, but no new ships were available at that time.  
 

The Ships

5 new ships are now available. 3 of them are brand new, with a respectable size: The nef, the galley and the horse carrier. Both others (the fellucca and the cog) are adaptations of the ships included in VIKING RAIDERS. 4 of these ships use sails for navigation.
They are all compatible with the FORTIFIED HARBOR and other marine maps of VIKING RAIDERS and VIKINGS.

The Rules

Download

Here is the adaptation of the "Byzance" rules published in Claymore Nr 11 in 1997, completely revised and augmented, to take into account the new large ships and sailing rules.

This is still a beta version that is yet to be finalized. I need some external feedback to be able to complete them. Any suggestion will be welcome!
