Or perhaps the rules for scoring Area Hits?

The Attacker can win outright by destroying 2 targets – however, they cannot normally destroy any targets due to a lack of bombers with which to score Area Hits.

The ‘Smuggling Run’ scenario looks to be actually winnable now whereas before it was a killer. The new version is also set up for multiple players rather than just 2.

 

Note that the Hold Fast supplement also includes more British, French, Spanish and US Characters…[Read more]

You could set up the board for a game, but seriously it would be incredibly one sided in favour of the attacker.

Close Quarters page 50 denotes transport capacity for a number of units. The LCM-3 is noted to transport 30 men or 1 light tank/armoured car/APC or 1 Medium tank/self propelled gun…meaning a typical…[Read more]

A Reinforced Platoon would barely be noticeable in VaS. You can fit the standard 1,000pts into about 5 LCM-3s (British/Americans) , a Marinefahrpram (Germany/Italy) or 3 Daihatsu Landing Craft (Japan). Tank War force would be a bit…[Read more]

In the second case, again there should be no warships in the…[Read more]

The rules for moving under oars is nice and simple – ‘move as if at Battle Sails’ – but can a ship move slower if it desires?

Likewise, is a ship…[Read more]

Although called Brigs, the term is a contraction of Brig (rigged) Sloops and were a successor to the Snow Sloop. There were also Bermuda Sloops.

In game, I think the Brig is based on the 18-gun Cruizer-class and the Sloop is…[Read more]

The carburettor-fed engines were inefficient at burning fuel, resulting in large quantities of vapour in the exhaust fumes, allowing you to “brew up” an enemy tank

A fire over the…[Read more]

A good book indeed, but…I’ve already spotted an issue with the [i]Nelson[/i]-class battleships on page 133.

*Q Turret is shown to be super-super-firing, instead of broadside only

*The 24″ MkI torpedoes are shown as forward firing, which doesn’t match the reality of a single submerged tube in each broadside.
