Age of Dreadnoughts Nears Completion
- Thread starter DM
- Start date
I've already done one, but Matt didn't like it (it changed considerably from the VAS system to the point where it was completely different) so I posted it to my website instead. Still, not wasted since another publisher has seen it and wants me to develop it for them.
I would take another go at an AoS version but only if Matt wanted me to, and I have a feeling he's decided to do that himself.

Hi
In my club we are using a version of VaS for the age of Sail, qith some home rules and some rules "inspired" from other rules sets.
It is a really bloody game, with really fun and fst battles, being really difficult to destroy a ship with gunnery or boarding it, but with an interesting historical taste.
The rules will be soon in our web page, written in spanish.

And you shall have it - just not immediately, thats all 
I've been travelling a lot in the US this past week (currently lakeside in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) and I've managed to scope out several conceptual approaches to gunnery, movement, boarding etc. that remain as close to the original VAS mechanics as possible. I just need some time to sit down and type them up then we can begin to crack this one seriously.

Are you going to be anywhere near the Southeast part of Idaho? If so, let me know, as I'd be happy to treat you to dinner.

Anymore news on this??
Not yet. Don't expect anything for some time. From memory it took a while to get OOB set up. Once the draft PDF is done I'll have to review it to check for errors, and I've already been advised by a late-submitting reviewer of the original material that some minor changes are needed (Matt - pleae note ). I'd not wish to hazard a guess as to how long the process would atke but I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least several months.
