QUICKFIRE
PRE-DREADNOUGHT ERA FAST-PLAY RULES
These rules are suitable for use with all standard
pre-dreadnought naval miniatures. All text and combat charts needed for game
play are included below, the rules are completely free and no purchases are
required.
Last Updated: August 29, 2025.
Latest Update Notes: After some input from a few playtest groups, we realized that there were many people who wanted to keep Quickfire as lean as possible, without the extra features we were considering. Other groups are more keen on historical details and liked some extra features. Given the demand, and rather than create an in-between version that satisfies nobody, I decided to have two dedicated rule sets: The standard fast-play version of Quickfire, and a much more detailed Advanced Quickfire whose beta version is now posted as a standalone rules set.
Rules: Version 1.1 BETA – Includes all
rules and outlines needed for game play.
- Full Text
Charts & Arcs – Download and print the
combat chart pages and arcs-of-fire on any standard printer. Only the front
side of the combat chart is absolutely necessary for play, although the many
reference tables on the back side can be very useful and are recommended. The
arc-of-fire templates may help players with setting gunnery arcs.
- Combat Chart:
Side 1 (all scales).
- Combat Chart Side 2: Tiny
scale, Small
scale, Medium
scale, Large
scale.
- Combat Chart Guide - A step-by-step overview of the combat chart and its uses.
- Arc of
Fire Template
Ship Logs – These ship logs are used to track damage, fires and available speed.
- 6 Vessel
Ship Log - A blank log that can be printed out and manually filled out later.
- 6
Vessel Ship Log (PDF Form) - Same log as above, in PDF form so it can be filled-out on the computer and saved with the ship data in it.
- Master Speed List (Excel file) - Shows all default game speeds used on the ship logs and can be used to auto-generate custom speeds for players who want to use their own scales. See the Ship Value Key for a simple cross reference table of basic speed settings.
Ships Values – These links are to pages
of ship statistics and ratings by nationality, for use filling out Ship Logs for game play. See the ship value key for definitions of the entries
shown in the lists.
