Heart of Oak: Naval Miniatures for the Age of Fighting Sail is a naval wargaming rules set published by Fantasy Games Unlimited in 1978, with a second edition following in 1983. It provides a set of miniatures wargaming rules covering naval combat during the Age of Sail, spanning the years 1755 to 1815, letting players refight historical fleet actions and single ship duels of the period using miniature model ships arranged on a tabletop rather than counters on a printed hex map. As a rules set rather than a single boxed scenario, it is meant to be applied across many different historical engagements from across that sixty year span, with the 1983 second edition revising the original 1978 rules for continued play.
