How do your new naval wargames (Tsushima / Grand Fleet / Battlewagons) fit into the picture?
To enable gamers to “wade in” to the game system inexpensively, we have published (April 2008) the three games noted. They deal with the pre-dreadnought era, the dreadnought era, and the World War II era, repectively. While fully compatible with the BC game system, and not containing anything that is not already in BC, the games do not have all the optional rules available in BC, nor, of course, nearly as many ships. But to try out the system, they may be ideal for gamers. Check them (and their expansion modules) out at the Tsushima /Grand Fleet / Battlewagons link.
