10.0/10
Amazing game. A great thematic sail game that really plays well. Expansive rules, the basic rules are just the tip of the iceberg of all the complex rules that the game offers.

Description
Sails of Glory is a series of games that recreates naval combat in the Age of Sails (1650-1815). Based on the game system used in Wings of Glory (formerly Wings of War), Sails of Glory uses miniatures, cards and board game mechanisms, with a special deck of maneuver cards representing the different movement capabilities of each vessel. The game will be supported by a range of painted and assembled 1/1200 miniatures.
Players will choose their maneuver cards in secret, then reveal them all at the same moment. The card features arrows to be put in front of the miniature, then the latter is moved on top of the arrowhead. Several options on the same card are available depending on the wind and, with advanced rules, the sails used. After all ships moved, guns are fired from the sides of the miniature to targets in range.
The Wings of Glory game system has been modified and expanded to accurately represent battles at sea between the large sailing ships of the past centuries. The first series of Sails of Glory, scheduled to be released in Q3 2012, will be set in the Napoleonic Age. If the game is successful, in the future Sails of Glory will be extended to cover other historical periods, such as the Age of Discovery, the Middle Ages and ancient times.

Un gioco che mi sto divorando ed ho conosciuto veramente tardi rispetto a quando è uscito. Un simulativo che ha meccaniche molto semplici ed immediate che rendono il gioco fluido.

Great fun to play and lots of levels of play to try. Fast and simple, check. Slower but detailed, check. Select your rules and enjoy the journey.
10.0/10
I don't usually give out a 10 but this game is worthy of that score. It is simple yet detailed and has deep strategy. Of course, you have to like this era, but if you do, this is well done. Flying colors by GMT is similar but much deeper but overall, this game has most of what is in Flying Colors without the detail rule book. Sails of Glory has a very simple mechanism for movement and firing, yet covers just about everything from boarding to broadsides. Plus the ships look way cool and you can create new scenarios or campaigns. I have one campaign I published in the Sails of Glory file section. Check it out.
10.0/10
A terrific game and system for fighting naval battles of the American Revolution and Napoleonic Wars! Figures are finely-detailed, and the rules are easy to learn, with advanced rules that really add to the authenticity of naval combat! Highly recommended: Grade: A
