I was going through some images from back in January 2016 and found these naval combat pictures from a Naval Fantasy Skirmish game called "Pirates: Miniature Battles on the High Seas, 3rd Ed. by Flagship Games (sold by Scale Creep Miniatures SCM-FGP3) that covers the period from 1400 to 1650 for historical and fantasy battles. The game was introduced to me by my friend John who contributed two ships and some of the figures, I contributed two ships plus figures, the sea mat and hosted the game.
Here is a link to the rules and to Scale Creep where they can be purchased:

As I recall this particular game involved ship to ship combat, boarding and finding a treasure chest on an Island.

Since this was back in 2016 the image quality is not up to current standards, as I had a much more basic camera back then. As I recall there were four ships involved one each for: Skeletons, Dwarf, Dark Elves and Human and or Hobbit Pirates. My two ships (Dark Elf and Skeleton) were made of resin and the card stock ships belonged to John. I will let the pictures tell the story.

These Valkyrie were not art of the game, but I had just finished painting them.

It was an enjoyable game and I bought three resin Galliot ships by Flagship games from Scale Creep Miniatures that I must finish painting and printing better sails to mount on them. As I am thinking of holding a Fantastic Battles campaign, these rules would work well in the event of any naval warfare.
