Not sure if asked yet, but counter size?

[chaos0xomega]

What scale are the counters in? If it's some random one, what is the closest model scale in size to the counters.

 

[Darkghost]

If they use the same size as they did in ACTA the counters are something like 1 inch by 2 inches for ships and 1 inch by 1 inch for fighters.

Below should be some photos of the Navwar's 1:3000 Graf Spee and her counter along with Bismarck and hers.

The airplanes are about 1 inch square.

 

[chaos0xomega]

So 1:3000 is the closest scale available?

 

[E Nicely]

Where did you get those photos, Oly? They official Mongoose counters?

I'm sure that I've heard people say that there is another scale larger than 1:3000 that might be a closer match to the counters.

The game was on sale at Dragonmeet in London at the start of December, I picked it up back then.

I was not aware that anyone owned a copy of the rules??? I thought it was just play testers who were replying?

Matt advised me a couple of days ago that the printers were late and they would not have any to cover preorders until mid january??

They didn't seem to have that many copies available but they did have them for sale on the Mongoose stand. I was surprised on here the other day when someone commented that it wasn't actually available for general sale yet.

I was lucky at Dragonmeet, I took part in the first demo game that they were running and nipped straight over and bought a copy.

There is at least one printing error on the counter sheets thought and one page reference in the book that seems wrong, maybe they wanted it perfect and fixed those?

 

[Captain Kremmen]

Bet you 10p those errors are still in the final printed version!!!

 

[Der Kommandant]

wow, im surprised to see a swastika on there.
nowadays no one like to include them, not even model manufacturers.

 

[Captain Kremmen]

It's like totally illegal in Germany, but surely nobody else cares?

I like to see swastikas on my Germans, that's what they had, doesn't mean I'm a Nazi....

Doesn't mean i'm not!!!

Well I think its acceptable when its part of the WW2 German Naval Ensign...

It would look a bit odd if all the other fleets had their ensigns but the germans didn't...

Especially considering that the Kriegsmarine was probably the least Nazi influenced German military service during the war (Strangely not only the surface fleet but also the supposedly hardcore Nazi U-Boat corps had jews serving in it...)
