Enjoyed your battle report. The "Merry-go round of death" was an interesting maneuver where the van of each line of battle crosses the T to the rear of the other! Clearly both fleets were highly aggressive and dedicated to the total destruction of the enemy!

Interesting battle report

I am also still looking for a good set of pre-dreadnought rules

For dreadnought games I would recommend General Quarters I & II, but not GQIII (we found enough detail and interest in I&II while GQIII slowed the game down too much)

Top report!

Same here.

But if you're finding the rules not quite to your taste, Konstantinos.....Give them a 'tweak'

Cheers - Phil

Does GQ cover the Greek and Ottoman navies?

The stats for the ships would be pretty easy to work out if they aren't available on the web somewhere

GQIII distinguishes between navies with different gunnery tables etc, GQ I&II doesn't
