You've missed me off, I was on the first page.

Definite provisional interest here. Points depends on format 1Arm as a pool should be ok, not so good fielding all at once. Mixed LoNAW I expect. Non-admiral.

Agree with most of the requests from the first thread, there are some issues that could do with being ironed out before running ahead to campaign ideas (although they would be a great addition). Part of me hopes that Mongoose might be willing to set up something similar to what happened to...

So far I'm happy with fielding mixes of Vorchans and Demos. They do serve slightly different roles, and the Vorchan can get into the fight more seriously 2 turns on the trot which can sometimes make the difference. Dropping the 2AD on the Demos seems like the simplest and most reasonable...

Thanks - we did assume that, but wanted to be certain before the campaign start.

Thanks for the quick replies. Oh, one more thing while I'm asking dumb questions - Interceptors, is their use voluntary or obligatory? ie can you choose not to use them when two rubbishy little fighters are shooting you, or do they get sucked up automatically so the big gun that's waiting for...

Played a few games now but a new and uncertain situation cropped up las night - My Centurion took a critical that left it running adrift, so we moved it in the end phase as it says. Come the next movement phase I wanted to give it CBD, but we weren't sure if/when you nominate it to take an...

Played a few games using OOB including a large (10pt Battle) US v IJN action last night. A couple of things cropped up; firstly, the Yorktown and Essex carrier classes seem to have crept up from Raid/Battle respectively, most priority level changes seem to be mentioned in the Errata for the...

Used these for the first time last night - what seemed a little odd was that you could fire at long range against the beam of the opponent and as we read it it would then follow the ship hitting it at the end of the next turn on the beam even if the opponent had since manouvered into a new...

Ok, so: use Recce plane stats from VaS, and AD/DD per small table on p16 of OOB - completely ignore the aircraft: X number (which seems incredibly odd) is what I gather from the above but according to the 'changes to rules' at the start of OOB, recce planes are no longer represented on the...

The rules at present to me simply don't make any workable sense. You have a trait that provides an unspecified ASW of which there are no clear details, there has to be some sort of clarification somewhere. I understand the whole observation aspect is removed but what replaces it is clear as mud.

Anyone able to clarify? We've found it so unclear that we've had to ditch the aircraft trait for now as we seemingly have planes that aren't represented on the board but can attack subs, but are attached to a specific ship - but have no range stat clearly attributed to them. Even if we're just...

I'm pretty stunned that no-one else seems to have a proplem with the new aircraft trait. 3 of us at the club have read through it and none of us can work out how it's meant to be implemented. Can someone please explain?! :?

This is possibly a better place to post my query from the VaS forum. The aircraft trait now seems to provide no purpose other than to give anti-sub capabilities. My guess (because it's not terribly clear) is that these retain the old observation aircraft stats, however the 'clarification' at...

Got mine Saturday with minro warping to front cover but nothing a spell under a pile of heavy books shouldn't fix. New to the game so can't comment in great detail - except as per my other post I just don't get the amendments to observation aircraft, the wording is spectacularly unclear imo...
