Wow, thirty Surcoufs? How very sneaky of you! :lol: (I know that's not what you meant, but I just had to say that, you know :wink: ).

chaos0xomega said:sneaky? I am entirely serious. If they do make it to patrol, I will definitely get 30 of them. If skirmish, maybe 10.... maybe...
So... how are the rules coming along, and when will they become 'official'?

You've even inspired me to change my user name
Muahahaha!!!
Why would you want thirty patrol level units?

Ok, you are then bringing up a very good point for discussion. Historically, the Surcouf was a one-off unit, even though others were planned originally. So, do we play Victory at Sea with unlimited numbers of a ship design, or try to stay within historical limits? I wouldn't say anyone has a right to restrict you, because then I would never get to use my Alsace battleships or other units that were never actually completed. As for myself, I shall limit any units used to that of something that can be either historically built or planned. If you get your fleet of corsair submarines, then you need to make a secret island base for them, commanded by Nemo of course! :wink:
So, this was a French submarine design that we (the British) recovered after the fall of France and used ourselves? And planned further units of the same class?
chaos0xomega said:so...ermmm..... rules? How they coming?
chaos0xomega said:No, the SURCOUF rules.
Silly :roll:
Last thing I want to hear right now is that the Surcouf idea was scrapped. Please don't tell me that, please. I just got my rejection letter from MIT, and I could use a real mood lifter.

chaos0xomega said:Hah, that was a good one. Took me a while to get it, at first I thought you meant that it could sit off the french coast, with it's gun aimed at germany, then turn it a bit to face italy, but i couldn't figure out Japan, as Japan would be behind Italy. Then I thought, maybe he meant the Earth's axis, and then when I was just about to respond, I realized you meant THE Axis.
