Come fall look around for oversized Christmas ornaments. I've got a 6" ball I scavenged from when I worked retail I'm planning on doing some light putty work to clean up the surface of and paint as a gas giant. I bet you could find one up to a foot if you looked hard enough. Also those stupid...

I'll admit I picked up lava rocks from a local fast food joint. Seriously. Find a place that is landscaped with lava rocks and don't go overboard. As my mother once told me, "More than a handful is too much." edit - how did you get the bases to attach? I've always found them too crumbly to...

Does that thing have quad maulers on it?

Yeah, the Bismark is metal. What tipped me off was the difference in the mold line on the saucer edge; the metal version lacks the fine lip the two resin ones have. I prefer it.

Yes, especially if your ship has a tendancy to burst into flame.

You know something I don't? Some metallic news perhaps?

The Habakkuk is actually in S&P 74. A mere 1200 Damage. I keep thinking I should get one - Figurehead makes a 1:6000 model. :D

When you say you've seperated out hypotheticals, are you talking only about the Z-plan, or are other nation's hypotheticals (e.g. Montana-class BB) included as well?

Not a doctor, a vet.

Ooh, being able to track shields and stuff would be neat.

The Americans and British wargamed it together? For the potential opponents, that shows a very different view of the world. More gentlemanly, perhaps.

So as an interested bystander - I've a friend who's waiting on the rules, and will probably start if I like them - how can this be resolved? Can [should] it? Is there a somewhat quantifiable effect that can be included if neccessary? Modification to the total hull points would be easiest, but a...

As I understand it, as long as it is in range at firing, it doesn't matter. The torpedo counter moves with the ship until it hits if the range is over 10".

I've no experience with other rulesets, but I understand that VaS is among the more streamlined sets, with (I think) General Quarters being among the most detailed. Thus VaS is well suited to fleet actions, while other rules might be better for skirmishes or ship on ship combat.

Blasphemer!
