Close Action - Detroit


Introduction

Close Action is a board wargame that deals with naval combat in the Age of Sail. Specifically, it is centered around the late-1700s to early-1800s. It was designed by Mark Campbell, and was published by Clash of Arms Games in 1997 (although now out of print). Subsequently, there were two add-ons published -- Rebel Seas and Monsoon Seas. Each of the add-ons contained more scenarios for the game and modified some rules. Mark Campbell designed Close Action as an improvement over the Avalon Hill game Wooden Ships and Iron Men.
