Ship Sheets for AOD
- Thread starter Tim63
- Start date
I've made a set of sheets for the ships required for the Dogger Bank scenario, which I'm running tonight.
I'll put those up on my website soon
They are done using Excel (well, actually using Open Office saved in Excel format), and have line drawings of the ships on them (I always find that helpful to see which turret is which).

Hey, I've done the hard work now- all you need to do is edit them to produce more.
As for Jutland, I realised a long time ago that there is no point in buying any WW1 dreadnoughts, as all the fighting was done by Battlecruisers, cruisers, destroyers and the occasional pre-dreadnought.
So you won't be seeing any battleship data from me any time soon; but if you want to produce some...

Apart from the Dardanelles (which isn't really much of a game) and Jutland, when did the Queen Elizabeth class fight?
All the interesting battles feature battlecruisers, cruisers and destroyers.
You could refight the Battlecruiser duel at Jutland, I suppose, in which case you would need the super-dreadnoughts,
Trouble is, any game featuring them is going to be no fun at all for the Germans.

A good point well made, but I was just pointing out that they actually did do some serious fighting!
To be fair, the Battle Cruisers only got stuck in two real engagements themselves (dogger bank and jutland) - unless you're counting the Falklands of course which again wouldn't be much fun for the Germans either. Oh, and the Goeben in the Black Sea against the Russians, but no-one knows about that so it's okay
Battleships were out hunting Hipper on his Scarborough Raid and the Wobbly Eights were out at Dogger Bank incase he tried to break north for Jutland.
The Battleships I would reccomend you "Card-Up" would be the US navy squadron towards the end of the war. They did some Convoy work to Norway which would be fun for the German Battlecruisers to attack.

I'm planning to do a Scarborough Raid 'what if' assuming that the British managed to intercept the Germans with some battlecruisers of their own.
The 'bombardment' scenario in the book would be ideal if I could figure out what size the shore batteries and minefields are supposed to be, and how to compute victory conditions.
