| Hammerin Iron is simple and fun. The rules are easy to learn. At COW (Conference of Wargamers) run by Wargames Development, it went down a storm. (The format of COW is - you get 10 minutes to describe the game and get the rules across, and then an hour to play - Hammerin Iron had queues all weekend.) |

| A simple set of rules, great fun, but not overly
realistic. The main feature is that movement is hex-based, but it is
played on a plain (non-hex-marked) surface. Instead, every ship moves
on a series of hex tiles which are laid down to indicate the course
followed. Firing is also worked out using the hexes.
Overall, fun if you like buckets of dice. I know that Martin Goddard is working on a new version of these rules. This will include limited shore action rules as well. |
