I find them all very important when used as needed. Now if the times for them to be needed do not come into play then they are not needed. You will find in version two most of them are needed in certain situtations but when that time comes up youll be glad you have the option. Most Specail...

sorry didnt think to check second book. I have been looking at US fleet list for so long Im kind of getting brain dead burn out. I say your right but it Assumes you might also use other rules. This is different in the new rules as it is removed as a specail action.

Flank Speed! Command Check: Automatic Effect: Straining the engines, the captain orders his crew to make best speed. The ship adds +50% to its Speed for this turn. All Attack Dice of weapons fired from this ship suffer a –1 penalty.

Are you talking about VAS I? I believe the longest range is 47" but it has something in the rules about firing over 30" being a -2 to hit. So you may still move to get better shots. As for metric you could change everything to metric (range and movement) and that would balance it I assume. I...

I have to agree the new figs. look great paint and all. The detail is easy to see and sharp.

In VAS II you dont have to keep track of your crew like in VAS (meaning no check off boxes). Thats what they meant by its not there but it has been used in other ways. Its hard to explain till you see it in the game.

Cool cant wait to see how they look.

The type of crew effects many things, Special abilities, some attacks, defense against certain types of attacks, ability to repair criticals and fires. So the crew type and skill does make a big difference. I think it will add to the game not take away from it. Mechanics is the same but a...

Well still working on the USA. Im amazed at the amount of ships transferred between the different allies during the war. But Since Im getting into the Mine layers and sweepers I am getting closer to finishing the US OOB. For anyone watching Matt has said we are at around 400 pages. If this book...

Matt it may be a 400 and something pages as Im finishing the USA OOB and will be about 14-16 pages one sided or 8 two sided. Fortuntely it the only fleet that big with UK being close at 13 one sided pages or 7 two sided pages. leopard: Yes the goal is to keep it acurate and detailed but simple...

For anyone interested a couple of the guys are eating away at the final game stats for the ships that are in the book already. (Not VAS I book but VAS II book which at this time is much more exstensive.) Then on to expanding the list to complete the fleets. (The expanded ships list have stats...

Well Im knee deep in American destroyers and there alot of thoses. My next thing is to make sure I get the best info on the smaller ships since coastal invasions and keeping islands were a big deal in the Pacific.

As far as guns go the big changes are how gun ranges effect modifiers for shooting they are not so generc as they were in VAS I same goes for torpedoes. There are some new things when it come to guns and torpedoes. such as modifiers and special abilities of the guns and torpedoes. Tropedo ranges...

Well if there is an imperfection I cant find it, so either your paint job is perfect at hiding it or it just disappeared after you painted it. Great looking ship Dan. :D Also if you have a broken model or are missing pieces please email Mongoose and they will do all possible to correct the...

The game will be there but we are still working on it. The fleet list are being fine tuned as to create the most acurate ships for you to game with. You have to remember we are working with everything from BBs to LSTs and Camships. We are not putting out a game that just hits the main and...
