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.
