We are proud to bring War Galley back into print in a new and expanded deluxe edition featuring 37 scenarios covering the entire Trireme era. This deluxe edition will include the scenarios from the Salamis module and the War Galley scenarios originally published in C3I magazine with new versions for some. As a bonus, the deluxe version will also include a new thematic module featuring all the major naval battles from the Peloponnesian War!
The War Galley 3rd edition rules have been enhanced with additional examples and an Extended Example of Play. We plan on two scenario books: one with the original, War Galley, Salamis, and C3I scenarios and one dedicated to the new Peloponnesian War scenarios with new historical commentary. All the booklets, PACS, and display will be in full color and rendered in a similar manner as the recent Great Battles of History reprints.
The original War Galley maps will be reprinted with updated art with the original Salamis map separated into two half-sized maps for ease of play. The new Peloponnesian War module will add three full size back printed maps featuring Syracuse’s Great Harbor, Pylos Harbor, and other key battle locations.
Salamis West and East Maps (draft version, not final art)
War Galley Deluxe will have 10 counter sheets with roughly 8 sheets of 1” galley counters and 2 sheets of ½” counters for Squadron Commanders and information markers. The generic Red/Green background colors will be replaced with eight different background colors to simplify setup and enhance visual appeal. The galley counters will be redesigned with new art to improve readability and utility.
Rounding out the package are two 11” x 17” Player Aid Cards (one for each player), one Victory Point/Game Turn Track Display, two six-sided dice and one ten-sided dice
