Heh....saw some new dice based tall ship table top game...the ships are cardbord card pop outs....

IIRC...it has a movement gauge and a wind direction chit...

Actually looks like a cool way to hook some kids on tactical wargames....

Oooohhh...wonder how the rules would work out with some SFB miniatures.....hmmm... :)

Pirates of the Spanish Main?  I bought two "decks" of that with my 8 year-old son this weekend, to see if I can hook him on miniatures games.  It actually looks like it's going to be kinda neat.

If I can get him hooked on this, then surely I can move him on to SFB and Epic Armageddon.     :flame:
