The Nelson guns may have been a dissappoinment but that certainly didnt affect the Hood's or the KGV main armament. The Hoods 15"/42 guns were fitted and developed earlier than the 16"/45's and the KGV's had later developed and fitted 14" guns to comply with the Washington Treaty at the time. As...

Hmm, this idea could be better (damn, i hate it when mine arent :wink: :lol: ). So the Iowa and Yamato could be * whilst the H44 and Monty (for eg) could be **. Hmm.... Tee out.

It really doesnt matter where the level is implemented, it doesnt have to be 'higher' that War. In fact, as i said earlier, there isnt much 'worse' than War, whilst terms such as Escalation and/or Conflict can still be slotted amongst the current PL terminology. And Götterdämmerung is a valid...

True. Which further highlights that further classification is needed. In the Iowa's case, why would you ever need to choose a NoCar or SoDak? Also, i have also experienced the benefits of the Radar trait and found it to be very powerful. Perhaps a ship with the Radar trait needs to be considered...

Hi guys, New player (about 2 months) of VaS. I agree that there needs to be another PL to differentiate some classes. Currently there are: Patrol Skirmish Raid Battle War People have been talking about adding another PL above War. Only problem is that there arent many descriptive words 'worse'...

I'm in Oz, WA. But i don't need the counters. Got myself some nice KM and RN ships from Navwar. Tee out.

Speaking about Tuffley and Stargrunt, re the points values debate. He also made Full Thrust, without exception one of the best 'star ship' mini rules out there (exclude the extra races crao, that was where it lost it i believe). And that was points based... And balanced too. Tee out.

I've never played ACTA -so this rules system that VaS is based on is new to me. As much as the ACTA mechanics work for B5 (so i've been told) and seem to be balanced - for VaS which relies on being 'partly' historical/factual the 'priority level' system clearly shows its flaws. I don't know if...

Key doesnt necessarily mean largest. :!: :wink: I would say the key Naval Battle of WW2 was the Battle for the Atlantic. My 2 cents. 8)

A OOP game called NAVTAC, by Q-Games. It didnt have Polish naval forces, but it did have lists for these: Argentina Brazil Chile China Denmark Finland Greece Netherlands Norway Rumania Spain Sweden Turkey Russia Yugoslavia Just a little FYI, now back to eagerly awaiting VaS! :D

The website now says January as a release date... :shock: Grrr, was looking forward to it as my "Xmas present to myself"... :wink: So, Matt, or anyone who knows: Is this due to stock limitations, or last minute editing changes..? tee out.

That is a very spectacular looking KM 'fleet in being' you have there Agis. I wouldn't even mind losing miserably against that! :wink: :) So, you are using 1/2400 ghq/cinc are you? Hmm, i find them way too dear for my tastes - especially as my painting skills are marginal at best... Even...

Hi I wonder if there is a exact release date for VaS? I cant find any info about the date on the website, except for the upcoming releases which mentions rather vaguely 'December' :wink: Also, the Rulebook and the counter expansion pack: What size are the counters? I will most likely be...

Yeah, it was the compass platform. Which is only lightly armoured. Still, it goes to show that she didnt necessarily need to have bigger guns to inflict serious damage. :wink: If it wasnt for the threat of torp's in the water, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen wouldve maintained their advantage, as...

I think that might be the Schleswig-Holstein of the old Deutschland class. That ship fired the first few shots of WW2 - on a Polish port where it was berth. I've got a lot of footage of that incident. It's a very disturbing sequence where the old BB is firing at the harbour, the city and the...
