POINT VALUES
POINT VALUES
T
his is a point system to help Sails of Glory players design balanced scenarios
and for use in tournaments. It includes ships from the first two series released
for the game. Each ship has a point cost.
Ability cards can be added to single ships, with the cost of each ability added to the
cost of the ship.
Ship cost may also be affected by special rules or penalties. Penalties include initial
damage to ship, crew, or both that decrease the ship cost; no ship can have more
than two boxes of each kind of damage at the start of the game.
2
Each type of coastal battery also has a cost.
Players can set the number of points for each side: for example, 150 in a battle
between frigates (allowing a couple of ships), 220 for a battle with the ships in the
Starter set, or 300 points to allow two ships on the line on each side. Then, each
player can choose as many ships, skills, special rules, and penalties as desired, up to
that amount of points.
For example, if you agree with your opponent on a 400-point battle, lasting until
one side defeats the other, the British player could choose for HMS Vanguard (135
points), HMS Terpsichore (68 points), HMS Juno (68 points), HMS Concorde
(76 points), HMS Fairy (37 points), Good Aim (6 points), Iron Captain (2 points),
Elite Marine (1 points), Fast Thinking (5 points), Elite Marines (1 points) for 399
points total.
The French player could choose Commerce de Marseille (200 points), Courageuse
(74 points), Dryade (87 points), Alligator (37 points) and Iron Captain (2 points)
for 400 points total.
The point system is designed for scenarios where the goal is to destroy the enemy
fleet. Handicaps can also be given to take into account different initial positions and
a weak position to the wind.
Scenarios with different goals (force blocks, disembark supplies and so on) can also
be balanced by changing the exact definition of the goal, table size, and other such
factors, with points being used as a guideline to compare the strength of each side.
