dont worry about it, its how we learn, I’ve learnt as much by writing these guides as by reading the rules.

Hi Peter,

Re movement – all ships have to move at least 1″ unless the condition is one of the 3 i mentioned.  They are not able to turn unless they’ve moved 1″with agile or 2″ normally with lumbering (limited to 1 turn per move)

Re Orders – yes they’re supposed to be in the ship activation irrespective of the order.  I’ll have to correct that i…[Read more]

Love how someone has looked at the rules and gone useless here yet in the wardroom people are going they need nerfing as they are too deadly!

😝

As I said it’s slightly easier to understand as you realise how the books been assembled .. not that it was expanded clearer..

v.1 of the Cheat Sheet (2 page) and shooting modifiers (also 2 page)

So heres the Flights 101, pretty much everything you need for flights, pending the FAQ….

@Shrokins, thats hit on 5+s when touching base with the target ship only,  otherwise they are hit on 6s.

Would have been better if it was, I agree.

Its (slighty) easier to understand in the full rulebook, because the core is the same as the 2 player book, then submarines are another section, mtbs another, weather & night a 3rd.  They dont go over past rules but are written as additions…..

Theres a reason why I’ve done a 2 page cheat guide to the…[Read more]

@Shrokins – Correct

@Peter – because the way the rules are written you have an extreme range on all weapons, and all other bands are derived from that…. and like in real life weapons have a theoretical range than is far longer than the effective range. (Ie an infantrymans rifle… used at ranges 3-400m’s … can in theory hit a human sized…[Read more]

No its not different, its repeated because of the torpedo fan rule on the same page which uses up a load. (& yes I agree there’s no need for it to be there)

The answer I got was the studio are talking with the author and writting an offical FAQ……I’m not expecting a direct response as I also put in all the outstanding questions the Facebook group (Victory at Sea Wardroom) had from the 2 player set. It was quite an extensive list so I’m not expecting the FAQ quickly.

In the QSR* page 22 is talking about Scouting in general.  So page 12 says that if you allocate the ship (Cruisers or Destroyer only) to scouting then you gain a +1 to your dice to see if you get a scout point.  Normally this would be a 5+ (the general rule on page 22) but Radar makes it a 4+, and if you dont get it then you can re-roll that d…[Read more]

Torpedoes use all the mods.

Yes that means torpedoes at long range will only hit if you are in the targets port or starboard arc.  However if you are playing with costal terrain you can have a ship runaground (stationary +1).  So in theory a torpedo at point blank range can in the right cirumstances hit a ship on a D6 roll of a 1!  (1 + large sh…[Read more]

I have summited a list of questions which are being looked at by the studio team… one of the points is the points imbalance across the board.

For what its worth I have worked out that the points are actually calculated individually then rounded to the the closest 5 or 10 points for list purchase price.

Look at something like ‘really useful storage boxes’ then glue a magnetic strip to the bottom of the box and a stip magnet to the bottom of the models.

or a company like justlasered .co.uk who do cut foam inserts for army cases.

Thinking of it maybe the US will get wildcats, Devastators & either a B17 or a Catalina (for midway battles – so they have carrier aircraft before 44 :p )

They hit to board edge and travel 0″, they dont slide along the edge

Nottingham,UK has been in lockdown since effectively December if not a bit earlier.  This limits the number of staff a company can have in and working.  Now the factory where I work only has 2/3rds of its staff in and we have more space per staff member due to what me make.   This means that warlord would at a guess have a production shortful of…[Read more]

perry metal command advancing might fit what you’re looking for… (same size as warlords)

there’s also Elite miniatures (no idea what these look like compared to warlord), essex (smaller in scale), warfoundry (smaller in scale) & Vitrix (slightly bigger models)
