Wooden Ships and Iron Men sold fewer than 50,000 units globally. This was part of a trend for Avalon Hill games during the period; Terry Coleman of Computer Gaming World wrote in late 1998 that "no AH game in the past five years" had reached the mark.[5]
Wooden Ships and Iron Men was a finalist for Computer Gaming World's 1996 "Wargame of the Year" award,[6] which ultimately went to Battleground 4: Shiloh.[7] The magazine's wargame columnist Terry Coleman gave it his 1996 "Most Pleasant Surprise" award, and dubbed it "easily the best game ever on the Age of Sail".[4]
