Though whether in the format of an S&P article or a suppliment is yet to be determined. Massive sales will result in full on suppliments. Otherwise it will be S&P articles.

As much as I'd like to see the former, it will probably be fodder for S&P as naval gamers have always been a small minority in miniatures gaming. I'd be thrilled for a spike in this area of the hobby, but don't expect it. :cry: There is a great deal of detail to be found in the ships, tactics and rich history that is naval warfare.
 
I would like full on supplements, but S&P articles are necessary to keep the interest up. As long as supplements feature new material not simply printing of the S&P stuff, thats all good in my opinion.

Has any thought been given to what if scenarios?

Some obvious ones would be

- Spanish join the war on the fascist side (though Hitler wasn't sure of them as he and Mussolini had had to hold Francos hand all the way through the civil war). They wanted Frence possessions in Africa, and Hitler had promised to the Vichy government that they could keep them as part of the surrender deal. However the Spanish had a small fleet and more importantly could have bottled up the Med fleet and prevented passage through the straits.

- French fleet is not sunk at Oran, but refitted by the Germans and Italians. This gives the Germans a larger if less than brilliantly modern fleet. And access to some interesting subs like the Surcoef (sp?).

- The coup plot launched in the 1933 by various American business interests is successful, and instead of supporting Britain, America stays neutral and provides support to Germany. German fleets can then take a variety of American classes that historically were supplied to the British.

Theres three. You could make a whole out of the last one, as the conditions that led to the war with Japan would still exist, but might leave out British involvement or have three hostile sides.

Also very pleased to hear Rich is working on VaS.
