I want to thank the person who wrote the ACW rules for Victory at Sea that will be in the next issue of S&P.

Finally something to do with those models that I bought!!

 

[Captain_Nemo]

Sorry, I just had a thought.

Whoever wrote the rules, could you make stats for the Nautilus from the Verne story?

Please?

Of course you always DID have something to do with those models

Based on information here

http://www.heliograph.com/trmgs/trmgs3/naut.shtml

A quick and dirty rating would be;

Nautilus

Speed: 45"
Turning:1/45
Target: 6+
Armor: 5+
Crew: 3/1
In Service: 1869(?)
Damage: 10/2
Flotation: 2
Draft: Deep

Special Traits: Submersible, Ram, Heavy Armor

*The 'water cannon' from Verne or the 'Electical Shock' field from Disney don't really rate any anti-shipping value as they were mainly used against boarders.

Nemo's crew is rated as either Veterans or Old Tars.

Thank you DM and Sgt. Ray Ray

Wow DM! that's a whole lotta stuff :shock:

I had a spare few minutes

Actually this era (not just the ACW but the whole ironclad era from the Crimea onwards) is something of a deep interest of mine.

DM I dont suppose you have a handy list of "in service" dates for all the ships (in VotR) do you

Plus for your VaS house rules have you developed a turning circle alternative yet ??

 

[DM]

1) Not yet, but I could do one fairly quickly - an after Christmas project I think

2) Again, not yet.

I know, I'm just SO crap. If only I'd get off my lazy ass and sort some of this stuff out

Sets up an auto prod pole to prod DM into action every few days :lol:

 

[DM]

It won't work - if it was that easy my Missus would have sorted out something like this AGES ago

 

[juggler69uk]

has she tried the enhanced cattle prod version ?? :lol:

 

[DM]

Only for special occasions - she found that other methods were far more effective :wink:

With you there
