lol 3 weeks and no official errata

remove the emphasis and you get that a single point can be used to buy ships of 2 different priority levels. For EACH single point you can buy ships of different priority levels. There is no statement that this can only be done once, and since ships pf each priority below the priority of the...

Good news, my FLGS in Pennsylvania got in a shipment of OOB last night. Now to read through all the new rules and ship stats.

The Bismarck would be worth 4 points of raid

Well the rules state that you must move at least 1" each turn, so, though you can creep across the board, you can not just sit and spin.

Sounds like a fun game, but it looks like the Germans had you outgunned (out pointed) from the start. Though the British navy was 5 points, you have 6 points of Kriegsmarine listed. Next time you may want to sneak in another cruiser.

Let see if this is a betterlocation for these questions. 1) Flank Speed! - while I like the intent of the rule and agree with the premis, it does somewhat overbalance slow ships versus faster ships. The most glaring cases are submarines, where gaining an additional inch of movement bascically...

1) Flank Speed! - while I like the intent of the rule and agree with the premis, it does somewhat overbalance slow ships versus faster ships. The most glaring cases are submarines, where gaining an additional inch of movement bascically doubles their speed when submerged. 2) Torpedo Belts - it...

DM - I realize that you are very open as to letting the players use the rule set how they want, and to just enjoy the game. What I don't understand is everyone who feels that because the game is listed as "historical" or has historical references, that it must only be played in a historical...

And how pray tell can you do this? As accurate or as complex or as simple as any system is, you can not re-create all of the variables that occurred on that day at that moment. Looking down on the battlefield from 10,000' you see things that the original commanders never did, you know the...

I find that VaS works well. Its quick to play, easy to learn, and offers plenty of options for people to test out their prefered fleets against the others that exist in the game system. Could it use a few tweaks here and there, quite possibly, does it need to be reworked, not in my oppinion...

While crew does have an impact in the campaign that impact is very slight. On average the crew impacts less the 5% of the resources gained each turn.

Guess that I should ask, do you feel that only actual battles should be fought? No one should try to re-fight any of the "historical" battles using ships that were not present just to see what might have been? Should we also play "historically" making sure that the loses that occured in the...

In campaigns it depends on the number of ports that you control. For each port you get 10 Resource points, if it is a supply port you get 10 + d6, and just for being in the campaign you get 10 resource points per turn. At the moment the top player in our campaign is gring 60+d6 resource points a...

While I can agree with most of these from our games torpedos are hugely affective. They hit well and when they do they cripple or destroy what they hit (with the exception of the battleships with torpedo belts). As for critical hits, we may be an exception, but we see a lot of critical hits in...
