Scotty59 said:I have a pretty decent collection of Japanese, German and US ships (mostly GHQ models) that I bought from a fellow gamer about 15 years ago. Played a few games using General Quarters way back when, but they've been in storage for a long time. Victory at Sea will give me a reason to dig them out and play with them again.
The best part is, they are already painted!
Yeah Scotty59 (and Lowly Uhlan too), me too. I've got hundreds of USN and IJN in both 1/1200 and 1/2400. Some of them I've made myself, such as the IJN 1916 8/8 plan of 8 BBs and 8 BCs in 1/2400 (some of which visited Pearl Harbor as cariers). The US response (authorized 1918) was an earlier South Dakota class armed with 12 16"/50 guns (!). There were going to be six of these monsters, along with six of the Lexington class BCs (actually designated as CC-1 to CC-6) armed with 8 16"/50 guns. Lexington and Saratoga became CV-2 and CV-3 respectively. Each side was building 16 new ships apiece, and the only ones out of 32 ships that were completed as intended was the Colorado class of 4 smaller BBs (actually 3 because the BB-47 Washington was sunk as a target while being finished to 76% completion). The treaty that killed her was also named Washington, although that was named the after the Capital and not the State. It was an arms race to be sure. Now you guys know why I call myself BuShips :wink: .

Some North Atlantic Wolfpack action would be fun. I really grooved on the Silent Hunter PC games and my family is German :wink:

There's no Soviets in the basic game, but a full fleet list is in development for S&P.Mr Evil said:
I don't believe the Potempkin is amongst them, but who knows...

Yeah, you can run Das Boot in the background for inspiration. Come to think of it, nah. :lol: Good movie though, I dug it out the other day (Director's long cut, lol) and I've been breaking it up over three days. Great fun, but I just wish I could appreciate it in the full-up German language mode without the English subtitles, heh.

You might be as appalled as I was to hear that originally the book would include the French, but no Italians, to save space... :shock:Itkovian said:
