I believe Wargames Emporioum (gaming centre) in Sheffield still have at least one copy on their shelves of VAS. Trev

Surely the firing player decides which flight to attack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Trev

If you want to chuck in a query on ships, its not the PL of the Queen Elizabeth and the Arkangelsk, but 2 ships that are almost ldentical in all respects, but for one (their length) Queen Elizabeth..........640' Arkangelsk (Royal Sovereign until 1944)......620' Beam and overall sizes similar...

Has anybody done 5 pt Patrol level, or thought of that yet? That certainly has an adverse affect on the larger ships. I think that we all like to use the larger ships (naturally), but if you take all the actions in to consideration, then seriously big ship actions did not occur at all...

I heard today that the FOW tournament has been stretched from 1 day to 2. Trev

Interesting comments. Playing historically, must be the only way to go. I also feel that ISD should have a from and too date, and a part in this discussion. IMHO it is not historical to use Hood in say a 1942 scenario. It has already been lost. This style of approach affects the Germans far...

As the main problem appears to be dropping a specific ship into a PL, of which there are only 5, would it not be a possibility to give each ship a Points value instead, and then fleets could be selected to a total points value? Having only 5 points for a fleet size severely limits the choices a...

This can be taken further, in that a Task Force marker (title nicked from SPI's Dreadnought boardgame, can be used, until the force can actually be identified. A large blip on radar at night could not easily be identified, and even radios were not that good at this time. The large blip could be...

I came 6th, which since it was out of 6 was not too hot. :roll: German guns not multiplying up DD makes a big difference. My usual crap dice throwing did'nt help. Quality admiralship on my part - "NOT" Still thoroughly enjoyed it, and will be back for more, but next time I might use my...

I can usually arrange work to be somewhere near. I just may take this offer up. What time do you meet, and where? Trev

As there is a FOW event on the Sunday only at UK Games Expo, is anyone doing or thinking of trying to do something for VaS at Games Expo (Birmingham). It is on 2nd/3rd June and the link is www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk Trev

My query relates to the sentence that follows that: "A ship that is detected at Night or during Bad Weather will automatically be spotted by the ship that detected it as soon as it moves into spotting range". and under night battles "Once an enemy ship is within 20" or less of a friendly...

We had a situation in a game a few days ago, where the Scharnhorst was able to find a target on radar, but we believe still could not shoot at it as it had not "yet" been spotted. Does anyone know how shooting at night and radar work together? I feel there is a contradiction (possibly) in the...

I made a comment about wanting stats for the Emden (only cos I've got it). How are these: Emden (1925) Priority level: Skirmish Speed: 6" Turning: 2 Target: 5+ Armour: 3+ Special: None Damage: 7/2 Crew: 25/8 Weapons: Secondaries: Range 26", AD=3, DD=1, Special=Weak, Other Turrets: AA: Range...

But they do get modified for Evasive action. Never said that torps were adjusted for it. Not a house rule.............its in the book! As for some of the other comments: I am playing the tourney in Sheffield, mainly to learn more, but even though I am not the most experienced VaS player at the...
