Roman Seas is a really nice table top game for Sea battles. I enjoy it and highly recommend it.

Very nice components, but the rules are a mess: incomplete, ambiguous, and contradictory. You'll have to make up your own movement rules, as the ones in the rulebook don't actually make sense. There are glaring omissions in other rules as well, and you'll have to make up your own answers as you go along.

The designer does not respond to inquiries, and I found the Yahoo Group less than useful, as I received no response to my request to join.

If you're looking for a good game on ancient naval warfare, I recommend War Galley for fleet-size actions, and the old Avalon Hill Trireme for ship-to-ship action.

Considering the price I paid, I expected a complete game. I didn't get one. Consider yourself warned.

This set is a good investment for those with an interest in ancient naval warfare. It is a complete game, with all of the counters, reference charrts and ship stats you need. It also includes a set of 3D models, which look quite good when assembled. I have not played yet, but I feel confident that I understand the rules and they will give a good game.

I have built several of the models and I am impressed. They look good and are simple models, although due to the close tolerances in the fit of some parts they are not necessarily easy for beginninig modellers to build. I printed some at half size (1/600 scale) and was able to build them without too much trouble, despite the tolerances being even narrower. I think building the models at a scale smaller than that would be quite difficult.

My only real criticism at this point is that the set is limited to the Roman period - sets expanding it for the Greek wars or into the medieval period would be great additions. That said, I think with a little work a person could easily adapt the core rules to play those periods.

Overall, I think this set gives excellent value. I have no regrets about buying it and several of the fleet and terrain packs.

Great system. The 2D counters and printed map sheets allow me to get started quickly while I learn to play. The Carthaginian fleet 3D models are nicley done as well. Lots of options with masts and sails, officer quarters, etc.

Roman Seas is a very good deal it's worth the model cutout ships you get with the set.
