I'm new to WWII naval gaming and was wondering what size table is necessary to play a medium/large size game of VaS using 1/2400 scale miniatures? I'm trying to determine if I will use 1/2400 GHQ/CinC or 1/6000 hallmark ships. Thank you, Joe

ChudHP, I agree, yes you have to compress the ground scale to get a playable game, or simulation. OTOH you don't have to destroy the look of a game to make a playable game. There are ways to go about this... 1) Change the figure scale. A 15mm tank looks better with a 20 inch range than a...

Emperorpenguin, The is an issue that has been around since H.G. Wells started playing with tin soldiers. There is no way you are going to accuratly show ranges as compared to the figure scale when playing with the larger scales. Even if this game were in 6mm the ranges would be off. This is...

I feel the same way. I think that a good near future game could have more diversity and depth than a sci-fi game. Think of all the conflicts that are going on right now, and extrapolate that 10+ years in the future and you have lots of senerio possibilites that your average informed person can...

Good. I believe we should be seeing a new S&P very soon also, right? Is this where the information will be contained? Also when can we get a BFevo Forum? Lastly will the MI be demoing BFevo? If so I need to rejoin! Joe Lost in WV.

I've read through all of the SST Evo threads, and have gathers a few nuggets of information about Battlefield Evolution. When can we expect some comprehensive information about this game? I'd really like to see the scope of it, and some of the mini's. BTW, I'm really impressed with the...

I've got to say I'm really impressed by this development at Mongoose. I was really into SST when if first came out but couldn't get enough people to invest in the game. With these pre-paints, at unpainted costs, I'm sure I can get people to bite. Potentally Battlefield Evolution could go over...

ROTFL

Is it my imagination or are the stats flattening out at above 100% with the new version, and using the high skill roll? If so this is better than before and speaks well for the system. Thoughts?

Sorry for the edit, I'm a scientist, not a writer. Mainly because gamers are a squirly lot, and that in their hearts dislike change? That is my answer from personal experience. I know I'm squirly and have serious trouble with change. But since I've never played a RuneQuest game before the...

Faced with what 'seems' to be statistical proof, as a consumer of Mongoose products I would like a response from Mongoose concerning the potential statistical anommolies in the combat system. As much as my group has been looking forward to MRQ, we won't buy into a system that is broken from the...
