Earlier I had mentioned that I was going to rant about Cruel Seas. Not that it is bad ruleset, it’s not. I think that the game is quick to learn and fun to play. I do think that it was rushed into production to meet a Christmas deadline leaving a multitude of small errors, and I also think that some of the rules don’t reflect what it is like at sea. Be warned: Naval Officers love to rant, but I will endeavour to keep this as short as I can. I will go through what I see are issues, give my perspective, and then suggestions on how I would change the rules.
