📖 About This Game
Sealed Despatches, an extension to the Admiral's Order versions Edition 74 or All Hands!, pays even more attention to enabling a historically correct simulation. In particular the historically accurate differences in the armament of the ships are covered very precisely. While still keeping the rules as simple as possible, it simulates the effect of these differences in a way that requires the player consider them for each individual ship. This should result in a more authentic set of tactics, which are chosen when commanding a fleet.
While Admiral’s Order with its original rules is an interesting tactical and relatively realistic game, Sealed Despatches now provides an even more accurate simulation of the weapon technology of the time.
