(Publisher's blurb.) Beat to Quarters takes your players into the Age of Sail and conflict with the French, the Spanish, the Americans and even Pirates with grape, chain and shot! Inspired by the novels of O’Brian, Forester, Kent, Stockwin et al, Beat to Quarters is a roleplaying game where you take the role of the officers and sailors on one of the Royal Navy ships that sailed the globe during the time of Napoleon. The game uses the same Mission system and card based resolution as Duty & Honour but introduces new mechanics for social advancement, ship-to-ship combat, weather, and grog, as well as a slew of other character options and everything you will need for life at sea. Beat to Quarters is a stand-alone game which is fully compatible with Duty & Honour.
