Do you have discord?

It’s part of the long lance national rule…

There’s a house rule that goes if the bases are touching (or a few mm shy) you count as being in short range unless your weapon would be point blank…. So touching doesn’t mean your turret can hit that DD, but does mean your torp stands a chance of working

Ohhhhh I see, that makes sense thanks.

Yeah I noticed that the points were all over the place.

That’s good to know, because I eventually want to get some carriers 3d printed.

Yeah terrain sounds fun, it would be more of a “world of warships” arcade vibe, but being able to limp your damaged destroyer behind cover to save it would be handy. And…[Read more]

Thanks Nat!

I don’t have Facebook, and there’s no game stores here (Alaska) that I know of. I’ll be down in the North-West this fall, so I think I’ll just try and find a game store there.

facebook – a lot of US regions have their own FB group –  & word of mouth / hosted by LGS or gaming groups.

So all I can say is if you get your stuff from a game store ask in there.

As an aside, a community member on FB /Discord is writing whats hoped to be an offical supplement for VaS – Here is his post from the Wardroom.

last year I began the process of proposing to Warlord that I write an official expansion to Victory at Sea. A few months ago I got the green light to go ahead and start working on the first…[Read more]

the missions all have a priority which gives you an extra 10% points, the agreed points or loses you 10% points…. for competative gaminng priority levels are normally ignored.

Erm… points…. yeah…. with the rulebook points I can take 3 different IJN Destroyers (DDs in short) all for the same 60 points and get 3 completely different type of…[Read more]

side note … do look in the ‘news from the wardroom’ as it was worked out that the starter set is NOT designed to have all the ships on the table at the same time.  But rather give you the ships to do the 3 levels of priority as fleet can have (pg 21 in the starter booklet)

Thanks Nat, your a lifesaver. I figured out that I am not good at naviga…[Read more]

Dive Bombers kill Destroyers, and especially after 1943, the USA will wallop the Japs in the air.  Ignoring that though, remember, your destroyers should be screening your larger ships.  Against the Japs that means they should be more than 8″ out.  Equal numbers/points, you will probably still take some torpedoes, but you can reduce the hurt thro…

Watching 7th Son YouTube channel maniples are two bases, so a Roman legion will be 60 bases in heavy infantry and 20 bases of light infantry. So 20 sprues! Cav is five models to a base and two bases to a unit so in 20 sprues there will be 4 units of heavy and light Roman cavalry.

Hi Doug – sounds like you’re making good progress through your figures.  I would recommend starting a few games as soon as you’ve enough for a couple of brigades for each side.  This will help you get used to the rules and the special Glory Hallelujah rules.  As you get more figures painted you can play bigger battles, which should be easier…[Read more]

Oooo good shout.

Next, I’d never take 2 bodyguards on a HQ unit.  This is because you go above a 2 man unit and no longer gain the -1 to hit modifier which is one of the biggest defenses of a unit.

secondly I’d take a bodyguard with the FAO, because the extra wound is always useful.  Out of preferance I’d give him a rifle because you want him hanging back as h…[Read more]
