[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 3019419, member: 6957"] Heh, I did not even notice that. We were using smaller scale ships (one of the players had bought the collectible ship game from Wiz Kidz), and were using a 10' per inch for movement. So I did not pay a lot of attention to the speed that the OP was describing. I had fun with the ship combat, but then again, I was a miniatures gamer a long time before picking up OD&D.... (I started wargaming when my age could still be measured in single digits.) It is a more patient form of battle. Once you know what you are doing the turns can go by much faster. That said - WotC's Storm Wrack has rules for 'Narrative' ship combat, which I did not like for the exact reasons that I do like Corsair.... it might be more your speed, though it is certainly not mine. (While I do not like them I will be the first to admit that it is my personal taste.) A final option is to use the rules for large battles in Heroes of Battle, which focuses a great deal more on heroic actions than on extended mass combat.
