Warlord GamesMaster & Commander - Black Seas Starter Set - Highly Detailed Age of Sail Era Miniatures for Table-top Wargaming

The models, board and rule book are beautiful.The rules are straightforward and the game is a lot of fun.

As usual Warlord have created a great, playable game with brilliant crafted models

an all in one package that lets you get started very quickly- with easy to follow rules, ships, counters and scenery and even a playing surface- an excellent introduction to the period- the rule book is filled with information.

A lot in the box for your money......would have been 5 stars but box was damaged

Brilliant set with very detailed ships a challenge to paint. The Rulebook is beautiful presented and easy to follow with fantastic images. All in all one of the best starter sets I've seen for a Table Top war game.

Up to the usual standards, starter set is good value and also possible to use Sails of Glory items with some small adjustments. Only problem needs assembly before you can play as no card alternative components supplied

Fantastic game..... It really is

Great little game and not too expensive to expand opon,Was well packaged and the rule book is full of wonderful illistrations and facts about the age of sail.

I have never actually been to sea, but have read, and re-read, all of E.M. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower novels of naval action during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th century.Black Seas is a wonderful recreation of the flavor of naval combat of that era.Pros:1. The starter box is a generous introduction. It includes a full-on naval mat, (a costly add-on if you do not have one.) A well-organized, and we’ll illustrated 75 page book which covers the rules, a number of scenarios, instructions on painting and rigging the included miniatures, and an introduction to the history of the period. As well as spruces to build nine(!) miniatures. All interesting.2. The game play is intuitive and very much retains the flavor of sailing and combat in an age where the wind controlled all movement on the sea.3. The scenarios, based on stories, add historical interest and flavor to the game.4. Black Seas has produced a large number of add-on sets, which will greatly extend the interest and longevity of the game. They also appear to be trying to extend the game system to earlier periods.Cons: (1). It will take a long time to get the game from the box onto the table. The minis must be built first, from the plastic sprues.. If you just want to buy an Age of Sail game and put it right out on the table, you might look at Flying Colors, or even Wooden Ships and Iron Men, available on EBay.(2). Not sure if this is a con for all players, but there are a lot of “additional rules”, with no guidance which should be used or ignored. Some of these sure look like they belong in the basic rules.

Top Artikel, tolles Spiel

Je l'ai acheter pour initier mon fils aux jeux avec figurine. il est en anglais mais rédigé assez simplement (au moins pour la partie règles de bases). Le jeu est assez simple pour débuter avec les figurines. Le jeu de base est déjà suffisant pour bien s'amuser avant d'aller vers les extensions. La qualité des figurines est au top.Je conseille.

Il gioco è molto bello e ben fatto. I tempi di consegna sono stati rispettati, tuttavia la scatola è arrivata danneggiata. Non essendo stata imballata correttamente, durante il trasporto è stata schiacciata e all'interno alcuni pezzi delle navi si sono staccati dai supporti. Il gioco non è rotto ed è comunque utilizzabile, purtroppo però doveva essere un regalo e il fatto che la scatola sia stata schiacciata non mi ha fatto fare una bella figura.

Naval warfare rules at its best! Great fun!
