I also really like your damage track. <br /><br />I look forward to seeing a game or two, and trying it myself.Blood and Spectacles Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04553070461794152273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-40446807416798635542016-12-05T02:35:38.790-08:002016-12-05T02:35:38.790-08:00Yes. I think you've got it right. The bigger...Yes. I think you've got it right. The bigger, slower ships are easier to hit but harder to damage. Small, agile ships are almost impossible to hit except by multiple, small-calibre guns. <br /><br />Battleships are easy to hit, but their primary weapons (8"+ guns) have a low rate of fire. So their few big shells can reliably hit other battleships, and the big shells can penetrate their armour; but are near useless against escorts. <br /><br />At the other end of the spectrum, escorts can shower their targets with shells but they are unlikely to damage heavily armoured targets. <br /><br />It's not paper-scissor-rock, but pound for pound, BB > CA > CL > DD > TBD > BB<br /><br />Basically in most rules escorts are merely much weaker, scaled down BB that get sh*t on by everyone. I want escorts (and cruisers) to have a useful, equally valid role, not merely as window dressing for the battleships. I want crew skill to be a major factor - a good destroyer crew could give a rookie battleship fits while perhaps not being able to do serious damage (unless equipped with torpedoes). evilleMonkeighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998198938697175335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8394074963215462822.post-7253762413851569942016-12-03T20:30:49.353-08:002016-12-03T20:30:49.353-08:00Nice to see you back!

For more durability, spray the cotonwool with wall painting-type spray paint before gluing.<br /><br />I like the way your system seems to handle claiber, size and armor. If I understand weel enough, a battleship will have poor defense but great armor and its big gun will have poor firepower but great power?MajorTheRedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00063261752687962703noreply@blogger.com
