The Rulebook also contains a relatively simple points system for creating basically any ship in existence. Rather than focusing on large ships like most naval wargames do, Cruel Seas instead focuses on the “Mosquito Fleet” – that is the small ships that fought in the coastal areas of Europe, the Mediterranean and the Pacific. Action in the game is fast-paced – with six or more ships per side, a thrilling seaborne dogfight can be fought in forty-five minutes or less. Command your flotilla of small ships as they head out to attack a convoy, drop off Commandoes for a behind-the-lines mission or task them with one of the other myriads of missions this small and versatile craft would perform.īe it the Coastal waters of England or across the Channel to France, on to the Mediterranean waters or on further to the vast Island chains of the Pacific, Cruel Seas will ensure your small ships see plenty of adrenaline-fuelled action.Ĭruel Seas is a 1/300th scale tabletop miniatures game where you command flotillas of small ships in battle. In Cruel Seas, you take on the role of a naval crew manning their fragile coastal craft as they head out day and night to take on both the sea and the enemy. It’s an immensely playable, simple (The rules section of the Rulebook is only 6 pages long, and I managed to teach my wife to play in under an hour – she’d never played a table top game before in her life) but addictive game that has the great turn activation from bolt action, with a movement template method similar to that of X-Wing or Gaslands.

What is Cruel Seas?Ĭruel Seas is a great new tabletop wargame from the team at Warlord Games. With that in mind, I’ve given this article a full rewrite to bring it up to date and list all (or at least most) ships that are suitable for use at time of updating. Since then, Thingiverse has had a series of issues that meant that folks moved over here, and a lot more designers have got involved with creating 1/300 ships that are suitable for using in games like Cruel Seas.
We hadn’t even launched the marketplace here on and everything was located on Thingiverse. We’d just started playing Cruel Seas, and just got an anycubic photon. A lot has changed since we originally wrote this article back in January 2019.
