I think you’ve stumped the people who play!  (I’ve not played the game yet so don’t want to answer)

Might be worth asking on FB /emailing the service guys to pass on to the rules team

So Gabrio has just posted this on FB!…. my guess is possibly an end of the month pre-order?

My wallet hopes not :p

TBH with dice, I agree, with the changes that warlord made to VaS from mongooses v2 beta, I was surprised that they didnt move over to the D10 to hit with more possible modifiers – afterall they make Cruel Seas which is a D10 to hit.

Size stat…. thats going to be a lot of grey area’s… such as small pre-dreadnought battleships & super…[Read more]

The AD doesn’t equate directly to 1:1 for AA…

Its an approximation of effectiveness

Somethings lean towards gameplay and others to simulation… I like this game as an into level game to the world of ww2 historical naval gaming…if you catch my drift

Yeah… I’ve had to accept that warlord do framework games, not rulesets 😝

if you pop over to the ‘news from the wardroom’ thread I’ve put some documents about the gameplay including a ‘cheat sheet’ for the full turn order so your not flipping through the book all the time..

theres also a house rules document that helps cover some of the points… however about the overhorizan type 93 shot… its a Beyond Horizon Shot,…[Read more]

yeah I’ve questioned this as well…. (and some of the online people got snarky over it…but meh )
however the clearest way round it (for a game play on the table perspective) is to place the smoke behind the model touching the base – and yes this will allow LoS to be drawn over the ship thats laying the smoke.  This is the way I play it… but…[Read more]

if theres not the room for the flight to be placed then it cant go there… dont forget that flights have no turn limits in their movement and can always fly over the ship to be placed on the otherside… + they just need to be touching any part of the base to be able to attack a ship.

out of experiance… you really want Dive Bombers to go after…[Read more]

hi Leopard,

1) local AA is unusual in that it uses the model as range… this is taken to mean the base as well as they are one piece
2)see 1
3) the other use of the base is to tell when flights & MTBS are in range to attack

please note local only works when the flights move NOT the ship… so sailing ‘under’ a flight doesnt trigger local AA

correct it cant go lower (my ships never last till the end phase when they’ve gone up to level 6 so I keep forgetting that level 6 cant be repaired :p)  however level 6 can be re-applied each time that area gets a standard crit… but not from a devastating hit (you cant get 7+ on a D6 :P)

“If an area lready has a critical score of 6 and…[Read more]

From the start it was clear that I wanted a model of  RA 9, the former ML 306. The only Fairmile B used by the Germans.

It was one of the 18 Fairmile B  in the St. Nazaire raid. The petrol engine was the reason for the loss of many. Prone to fire 13 launches  are destroyed by coastal guns. The large 2300 litres extra tanks on deck fitted for th…[Read more]

Hi Murlo,

short answer is yes you have the right of it on damage… however  all Engine, crew & weapon areas can be fixed, its just some of the effects cant be removed.  A repaired level basically means drop the level down by one & remove the penalty row entry unless stated that its cant be.

If you roll a 4 or less for level and the ship was a…[Read more]

1) VT… these are national rules for the RN & USN and so dont cost points….

2) If you go to news from the wardroom thread there should be a subs 101 & a cheat sheet … between these two files will help you work out how they work.
However – observation flights are a token and so cant be shot… they are a single dice to roll to make a sub…[Read more]

Me – are ottamans included?

Gabio – yes. But all the smaller navies of the time have only 1 or none special rules and usually 1 special character and/or a special ship

Thats all thats been posted… a couple of pictures with some rules for capturing ships and that info…

If I (or anyone else) sees anything more we’ll post!

This is the Heavy cavalry rule which comes in different forms. Hvy Cav +1, means that when they charge or countercharge they add 1 to the combat resolution, i.e. equivalent to an extra casualty inflicted. Hvy cav +D3 is similar except the addition to the combat resolution is based on the score of a D6 halved, i.e. an addition of 1, 2 or 3.
