Man O' War is a naval combat specialist game published by Games Workshop in their Warhammer Fantasy Battle universe.
Like the other specialist games it's a lot more fun than WFB whilst also being much cheaper to get into, a fact which naturally led to Games Workshop killing it with fire because they're a bunch of dicks always looking out for the interests of WFB players.
Sadly it is now utterly unsupported by GW -- in fact, Games Workshop supports MOW even less than the other specialist games, because they don't even bother hosting the rules or selling old models.
Games Workshop tried to cash in on nostalgia for Man O' War by making Dreadfleet, a superficially-similar naval combat game; unfortunately, they missed the mark by a wide margin, because Dreadfleet turned out to be more of a boardgame than a wargame, with only one ship available for each faction and minimal possibilities for customization.
