Ship of the line

⚓ Take command of wooden warships in the great naval battles of the Age of Sail.

From the Anglo-Dutch Wars to Nelson's triumph at Trafalgar, Ship of the Line is a deep naval strategy simulation. Command ships of the line, frigates, and entire fleets across 240 years of naval history.

— A SERIOUS NAVAL WARGAME —

This is no casual game. Ship of the Line models the real mechanics of sailing-era combat:

• Wind & weather gauge — square-rigged ships cannot sail into the wind. Hold the windward position to seize the initiative.

• Line of battle — form your fleet into a single column to concentrate broadside firepower.

• Raking fire — cross an enemy's bow or stern to rake the length of their deck for devastating damage.

• Shot types — round shot smashes hulls, chain shot tears rigging and slows the enemy, grape shot cuts down crew.

• Boarding actions — grapple alongside, storm the deck, and capture enemy ships.

• Ship classes — from towering first-rate ships of the line to swift frigates, every class handles differently in speed, firepower, and armor.
