I’ve been thinking a bit more about my own set of rules for ancient naval warfare and have come up with a few basic ideas. It will be a hex based system, with turn cards for the movement sequence and with galleys organised into squadron formations. The ships will be 1/600th scale and based on 30mm  hexes. The emphasis will be on fast play and minimal book keeping. 

I’ve had a look for existing rules with all of these elements but have yet to find a set with all of them present. I did find this set of rules, however, which is similar in many respects – having hex based movement with ships organised into squadrons – so I think I will download a copy for a closer look? It definitely ticks quite a lot of the boxes, even if it’s aimed at 1/1200th scale.
