Ram & Oar

The intent of these rules is to provide a fast, easy, fun game for ancient fleet battles. The base turn sequence and mechanics are based on the game Volley & Bayonet by Frank Chadwick & Greg Novak.

Each game turn is composed of two sequential parts: First player actions followed by Second player actions. Generally, the first player action represent the attacking side in the battle. Within each player action there are four phases: 1) Command, 2) Movement, 3) Combat, and 4) Exhaustion. There is no individual ship morale phase.
