Re: Charge distance in terrain

It states in the rules what the modifications are for movement so we make it affect charges as well since it is movement.

It’s a beautiful looking force Darrell and unusual to see you concentrating on one project for so long 🤓
Keep up the good work!

Re: Trick to identify vessel with its naval sheet parameters

I know a number of friends who do 20th century naval gaming and have the ship’s names written on the bases but my OCD hates it, I think it spoils the look of the game plus that means I would have to paint up every ship as I couldn’t possibly use the same ship as another one unless it had a wipe clea...

Re: Trick to identify vessel with its naval sheet parameters

We don’t put names on the bases we seem to have no problem remembering which is which, sorry I can’t be more helpful.

Re: Trick to identify vessel with its naval sheet parameters

We use the ship detail sheet in the back of the essentials pack and have had games so far with about 12 ships a side.

I found that the pistol volley before melee was killing more figures than the hand to hand. That didn’t seem ...
