The Borg are in ACW VaS :shock:
One of the few benefits of having a stopover at LAX that feels like its been going on for bloody ages (in fact probably the ONLY benefit) is that I've been able to work on the stats for European ironclads and other ships. I need to check the file for errors and even when I do I'm sure someone will pick up the ones I have missed. Anyway, I'm hoping to get them sorted for tomorrow so expect something around about bed-time, UK time (whatever that is right now - bloody jet lag!!).
Stats for Austrian (yes, they had a navy) Italian, Prussian, Danish, British and French ships.
South Americans (War of the Triple Alliance) next
EDIT - on the site now.

A slightly revised version just posted - some minor tweaks in determining critical hits and a few format changes. No vast increase in ship types this time although the British and French sections may be expanded shortly, and I'm probably going to add Chilean and Peruvean ships over the next few weeks
Just a cople of questions:
In your rules some ships are armed with "spar torpedo", and others have the "spar torpedo" caracteristic.
Is it the same?
I understand that it´s necessary to rig the spar torpedo before using it but, after rigging it, how does it affect the ship?
Thank you.

We (19 & One gaming club)are running a game at Gencon using your Ironclad rules .
I really like them ,they get the feeling of what I want for IC's without being too cumbersome.
The scenario is based upon the supposition that the French did actively (militarily)support the Confeds.
This scenario is the attempt by the French/Rebels to take back New Orleans in 1863.
The confederate Mississippi River fleet is makeing an excursion and attempting to escort the French Troop transports into Gulfport from where they and a sizeable CSA force hill march on New Orleans (this is the 15mm Fire & Fury game at the convention)
Please bear in mind that the war has gone better for the rebels in the west .
Anyway back onto topic -the CSA have the following
IC-Manassas, Arkansas,Muscogee
side wheelrams-Caroline
sidewheel gunboats- Calhoun,
small gunboat-Cromwell,Staines, Georgia
The Union blockading force has the following
IC: New Ironsides
Monitor: Squando,Onondaga
Sidewheel gunboats: Eutaw,Iosco
Armed Ferry : Commodore Perry
and the French :
Armoured Corvette :Montcalm
Steam gunboat: Bouvet
along with 4 transports
The Union force is between the others and has a chance to engage the 2 forces in turn rather than at the same time .
Anyway it should be fun.
I will post photo's etc on our club's yahoo site after the convention.
