You Play It has been around for years and has a version with the simple rules. Is anyone up for a slow paced game? i.e. we are going to Europe in a week and my internet may be intermittent for a month.

S.
As I understand it, it actually implements the rules for you. From the site;
This online version, called the simplified version, is based on a reduced subset of the basic game rules for the Avalon Hill board game Wooden Ships & Iron Men. If you are familiar with the board game, the following are not implemented in the simplified version:
Grappling and boarding parties
Drifting
Most Advanced Game rules, such as wind change, full sails, different types of ammunition, wind effects, backing sails, anchors, and reduced field of fire.
Optional rules
Critical hits
Build your own scenarios
When you create a game you can choose "basic rules":
In Basic games all the rules of the Basic board game rules are available with some differences in the map size.

My favorite online boardgaming experience thus far has been Wallenstein.

Wooden Ships & Iron Men is such a solid, simple system. I'll give it a spin with you.

Let me look over Blue Max and figure out if I can play both at once or if my head will explode.
