PT/Torpedo boats

[Warjammy]

I saw this mentioned in a thread earlier, but wanted to start fresh with this: has anyone toyed with playtest rules for torpedo or patrol torpedo boats? I've just begun playing the Russian fleet, and in historical precedent as well as the Mongoose 'fluff' text in the rules article, made light of the fact that the fleet was mostly smaller ships. I've ordered 6 torpedo boats to try out in games, but want to shoot some stats around with the boys first.

Coastal Forces rules plus copious stats hopefully appearing in an S&P near you soon

I was tinkering with some but hadnt advanced much. I was sort of putting them together similar to aircraft in scale but allowing secondaries to fire at them as well.

Thats not a milion miles away from the way they are represented.

So: somewhat crazy-fast, so difficult to hit with main guns that it is, in game, impossible. AA and secondarys can fire at them, and hitting their target wipes them out after a dodge, maybe with damage 2 since they are a little more resilient than fighters. I like it, I'll try something like this out this Wednesday and let you know how it fares.
