    Uploaded by

    Francisco José Villanueva
    This document provides reference sheets for key mechanics in the Fighting Sail board game, including: 1) The turn sequence consists of an initiative phase, sailing phase, and cannon phase where players take turns moving ships and firing cannons. 2) During the initiative phase, the highest die roll determines the first player for that turn. Tied rolls are re-rolled on the first turn and refer to the weather deck on subsequent turns. 3) Ships roll dice to determine sailing points based on their sailing stat and wind attitude. Sailing points are spent to maneuver or tack/wear ships up to certain distances and angles.

    FIGHTING SAIL REFERENCE SHEET

    THE TURN SEQUENCE


    • The Initiative Phase: This phase determines which player will act first for
    the turn.
    • The Sailing Phase: The first player sails his entire fleet, followed by the
    second player.
    • The Cannon Phase: The first player fires the cannons of his fleet, then the
    second player follows suit.

    INITIATIVE SUMMARY
    Highest die roll is first player for the turn. Re-roll ties on the first turn of the game
    only. If a tie is rolled from the second turn onwards, the first player from the previous
    turn becomes the second player in the new turn.
    If you are using the advanced rules for weather changes, look up on the Weather
    Deck the die roll that gave the tied result.

    THE WEATHER DECK


    • 1: Becalmed.
    • 2–3: The wind changes 1 point clockwise.
    • 4–5: The wind changes 1 point counter-clockwise.
    • 6: The wind picks up to a gale.

    SAILING SUMMARY
    • Roll a number of dice equal to the ship’s Sailing stat.
    • The target number depends on the ship’s attitude towards the wind.
    • Each success rolled = 1 sailing point.
    • If no successes are rolled, the ship gets one free sailing point unless it was In
    Irons or had an Anchor token.

    SHOOTING SUMMARY
    • A valid target is within range, within your ship’s firing arc, and within line
    of sight.
    • Measure range from mainmast to mainmast.
    • Roll a number of dice equal to the ship’s Gunnery stat. If the ship has any
    Damage tokens, its Gunnery stat is halved, rounded up.
    • Place a Cannon token next to the ship.
    • The number needed to hit and cause explosions depends on the range.

    Range Distance Hits Explosions

    Short 0–6” 3+ 5+

    Medium 6–12” 4+ 6

    Long 12–18” 5+ n/a

    For each explosion, roll a further Gunnery die. These extra dice do not cause more
    explosions unless you have a raking shot.

    • The target rolls a number of dice equal to its Hull stat. Each 4+ rolled cancels
    out a hit. Look up any remaining damage on the Damage Deck and apply
    the effects.
    • The target’s fleet loses fleet morale equal to the amount of damage taken, to a
    maximum of the target’s Hull stat.

    THE DAMAGE DECK


    • 0 or less: No effect
    • 1: Disrupted – the ship gets an Anchor token unless it already had one.
    • 2: Shaken – the ship gets an Anchor token. If it already had one, it gets a
    Damage token instead.
    • 3: Light Damage – the ship gets an additional Damage token and an Anchor
    token unless it already had one.
    • 4: Heavy Damage – the ship gets two additional Damage tokens and an Anchor
    token unless it already has one.
    • 5 or more: Catastrophic Damage – the ship is sunk.

    DAMAGE TOKENS SUMMARY


    • 1+: Gunnery and Boarding stats are halved, rounded up.
    • 3: If the ship fails its damage control Discipline test, it strikes its colours and is
    removed from play.
    • 4+: The ship sinks. Remove it from play.

    BOARDING ACTION SUMMARY


    • Each ship rolls a number of dice equal to its Boarding stat. Each 4+ scores
    a hit.
    • If the defender rolls at least as many hits as the attacker, it repels the attack and
    there is no further effect.
    • If the attacker rolls more hits than the defender, the defending ship is taken
    as a prize. The attacker’s fleet gains morale equal to the defending ship’s Hull
    stat and the defender’s fleet loses the same amount. The attacking ship gets
    a Damage token, unless it already had one. The defending ship is removed
    from play.
