For most of the war, IJN warships were painted one of four different shades of grey depending on which naval dockyard they were commissioned from or refitted at. The shades varied quite a bit from each other. Testors Model Masters II series made these colors but I think that they are now out...

No, that's incorrect. The sentence you are referring to limits the damage and crew loss as a result of a critical hit from a weak gun to one extra damange and/or crew instead of the amount listed on the critical table. There is no crew loss from normal damage. Dannie

Check DM's website. He should have them listed there. I worked out my own stats that are a little different from DM's. PM me your email address and I'll send them to you. Dannie

IMHO, the Abbai War choice is much better than the Pak'Ma'Ra War choice. However, my point is not that the Pak'Ma'Ra is a worse fleet than the Abbai. I'm only stating the Pak'Ma'Ra need nearly as much help as the Abbai. FWIW, I've never lost a game to, or won a game with a pure Pak'Ma'Ra...

I run them with either Vree or Gaim scouts and they do fine. But I've had no luck with a pure Pak'Ma'Ra Fleet. Dannie

LOL! Besides the -3 Initiative, They don't have a scout which makes their weapons much less effective against hull 6 and anything with interceptors. They don't have a carrier, but I guess that doesn't matter since they don't have a real fighter. Oh, and their bomber has the distinction of...

I believe that a pure Pak Ma'Ra fleet has a number of issues that make it far from equal or balanced to the other fleets. Improve the Pak'Ma'Ra and let the league stay. Dannie

I have to disagree with both of you. First, it is based on a hull 6 design and should remain hull 6. Second, it is a carrier with great long range weapons. What more can you ask of a carrier? I think it is wrong to give the weapons of the Z'Takk and 20 fighters. If there is something that...

I must agree. The first G'Vrahn that I purchased was a well cast model. Since then I've been through 3 more just trying to find another good one. The three have the same problem. A significant amount of detail ans some of the metal is missing. It looks like the mold wasn't properly coated...

Has anyone heard from George at TimeSlip Creations? He hasn't answered any emails and I'm in desperate need of some more of his fighter bases. Dannie

That's not exactly what happened. In fact, that's not what happened at all. I believe that I killed one and it might have been two White Stars. And it wasn't with E Mines. It was with TD and DD beams. Do't get me wrong, I think CBD 4+ is way over the top and certainly helped the Narn win...

Allowing half AD with CBD is a big mistake (but so is CBD 4+ for the Narn). Ships with only one weapon system will be able to CBD and shoot. If people think Xaars and Xeels are tough now, see how they are when they can CBD and still fire. A solution may come out of VAS. If a crit is scored...

The Fubukis originally had reloads. They were removed as part of the reconstruction effort to correct severe stability problems. The Akitsuki class had 24" torpedoes. They should be listed as SAP. Also note that most of the IJN DD's introduced in OOB have twice the number of torpedoes...

I voted for fixing the swarm problem via the crit table or implementing saves. I believe that the new FAP system is a poor way to address the problem since it criples swarm fleets such as the Drazi. I'd like to see some of the ships rebalanced as well. The Dilgar Skirmish choices are very...

Isn’t the problem that the new FAP system is trying to address is the fact that most larger ships aren’t worth their equivalent in smaller ships? Trying to fix the problem by adjusting the FAP system doesn’t work if the result makes horde fleets unviable. Changing to a point based FAP may...
