I've read several posts and hints that some of the fans have done some Vietnam erra work, but so far have found little except blank cards. Anyone working on Nam? Is there some finished docs someplace? I'd like to do some Nam skirmish level games with 1/72nd scale. any help would be appreciated.

My IJN just arrived in the mail, and I have no idea what color I should be painting it? Is there a particular color they favored? I like Valejo paints, so if there is a good naval grey to use, I'd like that paint number. A large part of my fleet is made up of aircraft carriers, I have...

Well then what do you use to keep things close to even? Just play historicals or go by gut feeling?

DM I've noticed that you have mentioned a few times in differnt posts that you and your group use differnt priority levels than are in the OOB. I looked at your website and didnt see anything like that. Any chance you might share what your group's PL list looks like?

yes a flight is 3-6 aircraft, but the most common useage and especially among navy flights is 4. And a squadron is 12. What I was going to point out was that yes the Ranger carried as many as 90 aircraft, but this was when it was used as a ferry and not as an opperational carrier. If it was...

According to Jane's Fighting Ships, the Ranger has a normal capacity of 72 aircraft but "81 are usually carried." Jane's states the carrier's aircraft complement consists of four squadrons of "bomber-fighters," the ship was normally used as a transport in which case 81 could be carried. And I've...

I tried a few games a year ago and then because of lack of minis and an opponent lost intrest. So I've been out of the game for a year now, but recently decided to throw in and buy some minatures and get back in. As I was setting up for my first game in a year I noticed something very odd...

Thanks, the VOTR PDF was helpful. I keep thinking the movement system in AoS would have to be the focus of the game. Ships are pretty generic as are the guns. When you think about it a 100 gun ship is pretty similar no matter what nationlity, dependent on the weight of the shot of course. But...

I have noticed a fair amount of the Union ships are sail driven with no steam engines or paddles propelling them. Is there a particular reason wind direction was left out of the game or was it just assumed everyone would be playing with ships that didn't rely on the wind? I'm not planing on...

My group has needs for more plans than just those listed in the new OOB book. While I love that the original list of planes has been extended I still find myself in a situation where we need some more planes... Anyone able to give a formula for creating them or have the knowledge to convert...

I've only played a few games since I picked up the game, but one thing I noticed is that there are a few ships that don't make much sense to me as to why they got the priority level that they did. The Kagero DD stands out as one. Otherwise a Fabuki DD with reloads. Also, what do the...

I just recently picked up the VAS book and have already read it cover to cover, looked at the additional ships in S&P and cannot find any of the few ships I really wanted for convoy missions. Namly, MACs, CAMs and CVE's Have I just overlooked these little guys or has no one stated them out yet?
