The Anglo Dutch wars were a series of three vicious naval wars fought between Britain and Holland during the latter part of the 17th century. Although the vessels were less efficient than later broadside armed sailing warships, in many ways these battles were a precursor to those leading to Trafalgar. Signalling by flag and gun and the use of fleet tactics would enable actions involving sometimes 90 ships per side. Initial battles were commanded by Generals at sea but by the end of the period, the term 'Admiral' and the division of Vice, Rear and Full Admirals of the Red, White and Blue were in full use.
The Anglo Dutch Series by Langton Miniatures comprises model kits, wargame
rules, fleet list, and ancillary items including a Guide to Assembly,
Painting & Rigging. |
THE MODELS |
Each model is presented as a COMPLETE kit, i.e. hull, masts, sails etc.
Choice of Sails in Brass or White Metal: WHITE METAL: The main and fore sails are a one piece casting, so less assembly is required. |
Tiller & Whipstaff Ref: PUB4 |
Written to cover the period of the Second Anglo Dutch War, with appended information for use in the First and Third Anglo Dutch Wars. The size of game is variable, from single ships to large fleet actions. A fast, fun game that gives the right atmosphere and authentic results. It uses the Ability Chart system devised by Rod with his original Napoleonic rules. This is a tried and tested method of reducing dice throwing and paperwork.
Ideal as an introduction to Sailing Navy Wargaming and written in an easy to
follow format. They are perfect also for Club Games, where players who are
familiar with naval wargaming can invite fellow members to join in with a
minimum of explanation. |
