Ah, OK.? For major surface action I am Seekrieg all the way.? ?I wish Rich would do something for coastal forces.? Cruel seas is fun, and the models are cool, but
I would prefer a more detailed set.

Hello Sailor is an unfinished set of WW2 naval rules.
Some really interesting ideas, but we found it didn't work if you have more than about 4 ships on the table.
Fine for River Plate or Denmark Strait, no good for Matapan or Spartivento or Barents Sea.
Also, while I liked the mechanisms and the damage ladder system, the actual way gunfire and penetration worked was a bit crude.
We usually use General Quarters 3 for WW2 naval and that has a great balance between playability and realism.
