Play is fast, furious, and does not require the pre-plotted movement found in many other naval games. Instead, a simple initiative and command system allows players to activate and maneuver their fleets in a realistic manner, indicating how older commanders adhered to rules of engagement where more forward thinking commanders, like Nelson, could retain control of their fleets after the first broadsides began to be exchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRather than focusing on the abilities of individual ships, \u003cstrong\u003eFlying Colors\u003c\/strong\u003e uses broad classes of vessel within each \"rate\" and concentrates the players minds on maintaining command of their fleets using a simple command system.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a strategic level game where one piece represents several ships. \u003cstrong\u003eFlying Colors\u003c\/strong\u003e includes individually named ships rated for size, gunnery, boarding ability, and damage capacity. Also included are nearly four dozen individually named commanders, rated for their ability to control their formations as well as the impact of their presence within the fleet. The game system provides what naval enthusiasts will expect in a tactical Age of Sail game: broadsides, rakes, anchoring, wind effects, weather, shore batteries, and much more. All this is packed into a short, accessible rulebook.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded within the game are historical scenarios [...]. The battles range in size from small engagements playable on a single map through huge engagements like the Glorious First of June playable on three maps. Players are also free to create their own variants and \"what-if\" scenarios using point values for each ship. Most scenarios can be played within a few hours and two players can complete even the largest within a day. Several are also well suited to solitaire play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n1st edition Components:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e840 full-color counters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree 34x22 full-color maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaybook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad of Ship Status sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11x17 Player Aid card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e 3rd edition Components:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven full-color countersheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour 34x22 full-color maps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlaybook (incorporating Ship of the Line and new scenarios)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScenario Pack (C3i scenarios)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad of Ship Status sheets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e11x17 Player Aid Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.5x11 Player Aid Card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.5x11 Turn Track\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne 10-sided dice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e3rd edition update kit: Flying Colors: 3rd Edition Update Kit\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTIME SCALE : 5-10 minutes per turn\u003cbr\u003e MAP SCALE: 100 meters per hex\u003cbr\u003e UNIT SCALE: Individual Ships\u003cbr\u003e NUMBER OF PLAYERS: One to Four\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e(from GMT website and \u003cem\u003eBGG users\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GMT Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32043874811955,"sku":"2011","price":55.4,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/672.jpg?v=1589520584","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/flying-colors","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
