About this game

Nelson's Victory will cover the Anglo-French naval struggle from the French Revolution through to Battle of Trafalgar. The game will combining elements of SPI's "CA," Avalon HIll's "War at Sea" and XTR's "Red Sky Morning." The map will cover from the Caribbean to the eastern Mediterranean. Combat will use an evolution of "War at Sea's" and "CA's" simple systems, with modifications to account for the tactics of the age of sail. Annual game turns are driven by "Red Sky Morning's" system of impulses that shift unpredictably from player to player, depicting the uncertainties of the era's naval warfare. Three large-size counter sheets (528) will depict the ships-of-the-line (64 guns and up) of 11 navies, plus a sheet of markers.
