Diving in Head First

i plan to print the template out on transparency, easier to use that way I think.

Indeed it is, thats what we have done here and the same with the fire arc template (because the fire arcts are not simple intersecting lines on a center point... :x ).

Diagram looks more like pivoting at the stern point, so different length ships will need different length deviations of the nose, but the angular deviation is the same for ships of all lengths.

Yes larger scale minis (1:2400) have an advantage over smaller ones (1:6000).
I really don't understand why the tuning happens around the back of the ship, when everything else is measured from the centre. Like ACTA, the models are much bigger than they should be compared to the distances involved... unlike ACTA there is an actual scale defined for the board, I think 1 inch = 1000 yards? It just doesn't make sense to use the centre for measuring but the back for turning when the actual scale model of the ship should be 1cm long.

Well look at it this way. for movement, a good 'average' position of the ship is the centre.

For firing, you might as well use the centre as well.

But, my dear Burger, where is the rudder located that makes the turns? Hmmm?

:lol:

Well my dear LBH if you want to represent things that accurately you need to get some 1cm battleships. I know you might be used to things that small, but some of us like them slightly larger

Only slightly, how dissapointing for you :lol:
