meters per hex and about 5 minutes per turn. Capital ships are modeled
individually. Complexity is medium. Time to learn is from 30-45 minutes.
Queen Victoria's Navy comes with a 16 page
rulebook, a 22x34in hex map (16mm on one side, 19mm on
the other), a reference card, a sheet of color counters (which players must
cut out), several scenarios, and ship logs for ships from the British,
French, German, Italian, Russian, and United States navies. See the photo
