Captaincy

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Captaincy, second edition, is a thoroughly researched and gloriously innovative miniatures game for the age of sail. It uses a push-your-luck dice rolling system to portray the unpredictability of the sea. It provides a new perspective on artillery, boarding, and morale, and a survey of 250 years of changing ship architecture and tactics. 

Captaincy offers --

  • Alternating or simultaneous turns that cut idle time to the bone, and enable club games with 2 or more players on each side.  
  • Games that usually resolve in three hours or less.
  • Only one ship model (or cardboard flat) is required per player.
  • Flexibility in scale, models, and period.
  • Rigorous, thoroughly cross-referenced, tournament-quality scenario rules, and a narrative campaign system.

Besides this rulebook, you'll need the following free files: the rules summary, and parts one, two, three, and four of the ship descriptions. You can find up to date errata here.

A set of (helpful but not absolutely necessary) combat order cards can be ordered here.

The pdf seems like it will be hard to print as most of the pages are 8,5x11 but two pages on it. Any suggestions on how to print?

I have never tried to print the PDF, William, so I'm just guessing here. A two-page spread is 9x12". Could you ask your PDF reader to resize the spread to 8.5 x 11" and print it in landscape orientation?

cheers,
John

1. There is a free online PDF tool at Sejda.com that can help with this. Choose the Split in Half tool and then drag and drop or upload the Captaincy PDF to the site.
2. Under More Options, uncheck the option to Automatically detect pages to exclude. In the Exclude pages field, enter 1,2,3,4,5,87,89 for the pages that are already singles.
3. Select the Split button and then download the resulting file after processing is completed.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
