The Royal Navy Fleet is an exceptional starting point for bringing the illustrious sailing ships of the Royal Navy to battle in Black Seas.
The Royal Navy
Why sail the Royal Navy?
The Royal Navy’s national special rules demonstrate the power of a Royal Navy fleet. Indeed, they’ll have a great bearing on how you select the components of your fleet. The quality of the Royal Navy’s training is represented by their ‘Drilled’ special rule, which confers a bonus to shooting, and the ‘Admiralty’ rule confers an extra level of reliability to each of your ships.
As such you may find yourself fielding a smaller number of ships than other fleets, though you’ll be able to deck these ships out with upgrades. Each will have a staying power and reliability both in sailing power and in unleashing their weaponry. The Royal Navy is poised to dominate the Black Seas.
