New Supplement - Far Flung Seas

[DM]

if i can find some free time in amongst the time I'm spending sorting out the real RN, family issues and trying to find a new home I'll see what I can do to create stats for additional ships. But it won't be quick I'm afraid.

Good luck on the house.

Does the real RN want to buy some slightly used LCS? I know a Navy on the other side of the pond that would happily unload some..cheap.

We ain't that desperate

Will the upcoming second edition of the core Victory at Sea rulebook mean that this file, and the Age of Dreadnoughts book it's designed to work with, will soon need to be re-published in the new format anyway; or are the two eras being kept apart in terms of rules?

Seperate - when you see the new VaS, you will get my meaning, as it really is a Big Work, not just a new edition with a few more tweaks.

It _is_ possible that WWI could get the same treatment in the future but, believe me, we are not even thinking about that now, as books like this really are a lot of work. I reckon we could do one every two years at _best_, and it is entirely possible we may do Cold War and/or Modern as the next era anyway.

Talk to me in ten years time, and maybe we will have done WWII, WWI, Cold War, Modern and Age of Sail, and just be about to do Ancients, all with 1/1800 scale models

Ancients and Age of sail would be awesome.
Maybe do a predreadnaught Expansion for AOD or The Russo-Japanese War (8 February 1904 – 5 September 1905) Expansion.

already in hand, albeit slowly

No wonder you have been silent in the VAS PT other than when really needed.

LOL, if only it was that simple, and it was only the RJW book that was keeping me busy

Id like to see that if you get some time to email me your work so far. Probably wont play it would enjoy working on it and studying the war.
