They are designed for this time period, are quite fun and are available as a free download. I don't have the link for them, but I believe they are listed on www.freewargamesrules.co.uk if not you could Google the name.<BR/>Cheers<BR/>SteveSteveIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07872240161596231916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-34171141604203411412009-02-24T12:54:00.000-08:002009-02-24T12:54:00.000-08:00From the above site, it seems that Venice in the 1...From the above site, it seems that Venice in the 1740s had 9 1st rates ships of the line, 3 2nd rates, no 3rd rates, 3 large frigate, <BR/><BR/>In the 1750s it had 5 1st rate ships of the line, no 2nd rates, no 3rd rates,9 large frigates.<BR/><BR/>Add to these 15-20 galleys, 8 gunboats, 7 galiots, 3 brigs, 7 xebeks and other smaller ships.<BR/><BR/>A formidable force for the Adriatic theater.Konstantinos Travloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358952514053104936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-58478961706812125232009-02-24T12:38:00.000-08:002009-02-24T12:38:00.000-08:00Take a look also herehttp://3decks.pbwiki.com/Veni...Take a look also here<BR/>http://3decks.pbwiki.com/VeniceKonstantinos Travloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358952514053104936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-73816570194444081562009-02-24T12:32:00.000-08:002009-02-24T12:32:00.000-08:00Beyond the site I gave you, there isn't all the in...Beyond the site I gave you, there isn't all the info out in english. Take a look at On Military Matters if they have maybe a book. http://onmilitarymatters.com/pages/<BR/><BR/>Also look at general books on Italian history. I know that the arsenal was producing good ships, in the 1790s. And they had a galley fleet in the period. I will also take a look on my Thompson book on strategic rivalries as it has info on Venice and the Ottomans.Konstantinos Travloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358952514053104936noreply@blogger.com
