Steam and Steel: Quick Play Rules for Naval Warfare 1880-1906 (1990)

Steam And Steel 1880-1906 - Quick Play Rules for Naval Wargames 48-page booklet. Steam and Steel is a simulation of naval warfare from the development of the pre-dreadnought battleship in about 1880 to the launch of HMS Dreadnought in 1906. The rules may be used to simulate actions involving ships built before 1880 with some loss of realism, but the gunnery tables are not intended to simulate either the centralized fire control of the large main armament of dreadnought battleships or battlecruisers.

Details are provided of displacement, dimensions, H.P., where built, makers of engines, launch and completion date, cost, amour (including location), armament, speed, coal capacity and complement.
