Re: boarding party

I like these, heck I like simplicity (even at the 9 - 11 year old
level).  What
is the Marine and Crew reference to the "Move 1d6 Units".  Have you
planned to
fight combats out on deck plans?

I've been working on these off and on for the past month or so.
Please dont laugh too loudly but constructive critic's comments are
welcome.
(Keep in mind I'm making this rule set for my 11yr and 9yr old sons.)

Happy Holidays,
Jesse
