War Galley: Naval Warfare in the Ancient World

A tactical simulation of Mediterranean galley warfare across five centuries, focusing on historical naval battles from the early Greek world through the late Roman period. Players command fleets of ancient galleys, maneuvering in formations, executing chases, ramming, boarding, and missile actions while managing elite crew and ship types. Scenarios recreate varied tactical situations—line versus line, chase-and-turn engagements, line astern versus line abreast, and specialized fleet tactics—drawn from documented battles such as Salamis (Cyprus), Drepanum, Ecnomus, Chios, Actium and others. Rules prioritize streamlined play to allow most scenarios to finish within a few hours while preserving period-specific maneuver and combat detail.
