    Description

    "DORIA", Volume 5 of the Obscure Battles takes the player to the age of the Galleys between the 13th and 16th centuries.

    You can now either play one of the over 10+ historical scenarios ranging from small raiding action to epic events.
    ...or you can CREATE your OWN GALLEY BATTLES in Mediterannean or Indian Ocean.`

    The game has:
    Over 18+ medieval ship type from Caique to a mighty Galleass

    Leader Units that come with own characteristics that portray the actual personalities like Andrea Doria and Dragut.

    A fast and simple play system that allows wing/squadron activations.

    Some scenarios can be played in A3 sized sheets but the interested players can play far larger scenarios like Diu, and Zonchio.

    Tactical rules that aim to create all the chaos and mayhem of a galley clash from boarding actions to small arms fire.

    Combat card system that brings immense playability to each game - with over 40 Combat Cards - you will never play the same battle again.

    Features over 8 + scenarios from Mediterannean and Indian Oceans

    The game comes with a easy index rulebook with charts that cover for ramming and naval gun attacks, fanaticism, traversing coastal water.

    The complexity level is Simple to Medium (with optional special rules scales up to medium+detailed)

    The game introduces an "Activation by Wing Marker" pull system to the OB mechanism that randomizes the fire and movement but simplifies the routine chores and allows much faster gameplay.
