As part of our Kickstarter campaign we offered contributors a free set of rules to help them start playing right away. The rules consist of five pages of instruction, movement and firing charts, plus a set of measuring tools to help aide in ship movement and firing. These rules are a great way for new people to get started in the naval wargaming field and we are offering them free of charge to anyone interested. When you are ready to move to more complex gaming systems there are other options out there that can satisfy that need. You can get the free rules and see other options by clicking here: TSM Basic Rules 1.0
