On the model of the Scharnhorst it’s described as a Battleship on the base. Maybe the cruiser designation on the card is used for something else in the main rules but it’s probably a typo.

Hi Ian

It is possible to obtain the Victory at Sea rules booklet from Wargames Illustrated which is what I did. If they’ve still got hardcopies of the August 2020 edition this came bundled with a printed set. Or you could join Wargames Illustrated Prime and download a copy if this is still available for download. I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t be though.

I’ve bought the Royal Navy and Kriegsmarine boxes plus the individual models of Warspite and Bismarck. All the information that you need to play is on the ship cards included.

The templates in the Victory at Sea starter book are at full size so I photocopied them and glued them to cardboard and cut out. The critical damage tokens I just typed in English into a spreadsheet, printed them out, laminated and cut out. They work fine.

Hope that this helps.

Thanks Invisible Officer. I had a search of our local library system but to no avail. I managed to get a copy of German Naval Camouflage Volume Two 1942-45 by Eric Leon & John Asmussen which seems comprehensive.

Speaking of age, I started by playing the Fletcher Pratt rules hand copied from Donald Featherstone’s Naval Wargames because photocopiers weren’t available. 🙂

Here’s a link that I found to Vallejo Colour equivalents:

It’s probably too much information. Now all I need to do is find out which goes where. 🙂
