Heart of Oak, Skin of Iron
Naval Combat in the Transitional Age, 1854-1870
Her Majesties Ship Warrior in harbour
Introduction
This is the website for a future game of naval combat in the period which saw the most innovation in the whole of human history. I was inspired to write it by a really bad book, Stars and Stripes Forever by Harry Harrison. This included some very unrealistic naval combat in this period but got me interested. It's my hope to cover the Crimean, American Civil, Schleswig-Holstein and Austro-Italian wars, as well as hypothetical UK vs US and UK vs France scenarios.
Currently, I have a very early rules draft, and it's early days, but I intend to publish this for free over the internet in html format
