    I play WaW with individually based 15mm. But it's all but impossible to pull the local gamers frm GW. Hoping to find an opponent. Matt

    how do you hit a target 6+ ship with a -1 penalty?

    Sorry to bump it, I just thought it was the most important point out of my biblically long post there 8) Most destroyers are only a threat when when firing their torpedoes, and if firing their torpedoes necessitates them being in "large silhouette mode", then there will always be a 6+ chance...

    how do you hit a target 6+ ship with a -1 penalty?

    It all depends on the conditions you're facing at the time, which is why I don't think the rules have anything to apologize for.... A destroyer is 6+ to hit, but if you have it targeted via the "large silhouette" rule then it drops to 5+. Put a spotter plane above it, with the large...

    how do you hit a target 6+ ship with a -1 penalty?

    No prob here. I'm just finishing cutting up the counters as I have friends interested in playing tonight. I need to type up a one-sheet summary guide.

    how do you hit a target 6+ ship with a -1 penalty?

    You're not looking at all the modifiers. There's also a +1 bonus if you are firing at that destroyer through its port or starboard arc, which would make it possible to hit a 6+ destroyer at less than long range, even when it's moving at full speed. And I'm betting the odds are even better at...

    Turn Gauges and Firing Templates for those who purchased PDF

    What PDF are you looking at?!?! :?: I bought the PDF version from wargamingonline and I have all the ship counters, and the turn gauge. I printed them out in color, laminated them and they work perfectly. No problems whatsoever with the PDF version of VAS. :D

    Unpublished ships already designed?

    Nope, Matt's an Ohio native.....dating a British girl :) Just introduced her to my 2 boys last night, which means she's sticking around. Been REALLY paranoid about letting my dating life affect my guys. Just doing my part to solidify IN relations. :D

    Unpublished ships already designed?

    Really, if you were going to include so many French ships, it wouldn't have been unreasonable to toss in the Condottiere series for the Italians, or the missing BB. The French scuttled a ton of their ships, or else saw them bombarded at Mers-El-Kebir. A few performed escort duties for the...

    Typos

    Big relief for me that my PDF version has those typos corrected :D LOVES me the PDFs. I work at a company where there are color printers galore, and as I'm a manager who's easy on his staff, who's going to blink if I print something out on the weekends. And at home.......a $15 laminating...

    Royal Navy in WWII

    Pretty weak statement. The Royal Navy and their allies whupped the holy hell out of the Regia Marina in just about every encounter -- in Matapan, Cunningham and company sank three heavy cruisers and damaged a Littorio class BB in exchange for a single Swordfish. Its carrier launched strike...

    Early fleet question

    OK. I have the revised Call to Arms rulebook, ASFOS, The Earth/Minbari War supplement and the Dilgar supplement. A friend and I played teeny scenario with the EA going against the Dilgar (5 Patrol priority points apiece). But I ran into a snag. Are there ANY fighters I can use for the EA...
