Scharnhorst as a cruiser is also kinda pushing it.  The rulebook comes out in January with what I hope will be up to date ship lists and stats.  I’ll kinda play it by ear until then.

Yeah, the Italian fleet box is a complete WTF moment.  The Aquila in particular.  The other fleets also have some head-scratcher pics.  But the Italians…  *facepalm*

I’ve seen the stats for the Leander.  They get one AD per turret.  But they’re Twin-Linked.  So… not as bad as you’d think.  The Edinburghs get 2 AD per turret, but without the Twin-linked.

Both turret sets also get fast track.  So, some bennies.

Thanks for posting that sheet.  🙂  If you do a German/UK one I would definitely be interested.  I ordered the RN fleet last week.

Enioch, your terrain stuff is still looking wonderful.  🙂

 

Going back to your plane counters:  where did you find the images you printed for them?  I’m about at the point where I need to consider doing some of my own.

Thanks in advance.  🙂

If it was that way in Beta, then you’re right:  it is probably a fudge.  I’m not sure I like the reasoning.  But But it is what it is.  🙂

Thanks for the info.

Okay, I must’ve read something into it.  Probably what the rule will look like once they put out a full rulebook.  I’m thinking the rule is just written poorly.  [Which would not make it the first one in this book.]  Otherwise, not only is the observation role generally useless, it completely contradicts one of its historical usages.

[Lord Snotrag]

IIRC, the “stationary target” thing is for a target without an observation plane assigned to it.  If you have an observation plane assigned to a ship, you can shoot at it over the horizon.  Otherwise, what’s the point?  :-/

Oh, those hex cards are exceptionally cool!  Well detailed and easier to travel with than standard terrain pieces.  [I often have to travel to get games in.  So portability is a big deal for me.]

I get the “dirty” thing with washes.  Basically, I brush longer strokes on the broad areas and dab in the detail areas.  While these washes are water-based, I learned how to do that with alacrity from working with varnish washes.  Because that stuff builds up and starts getting sticky fast.  😛 Fortunately, the water-based ones are a bit more forgiving.  🙂

[Lord Snotrag]

Good stuff, Enioch.  🙂

If I may add to the showcase, these are my first VaS models, painted to run a small demo at my LGS.  Hoping I can get enough interest to get others to buy in.  I don’t want to have to buy all the fleets.  😀

Excellent.  Thank you.  🙂

[Lord Snotrag]

Thanks, Nat.  🙂

About the firing arcs:  I get where the arcs are drawn from off the shooting vessel.  My concern is:  what part of the target needs to be within that arc for it to be a valid target?  Would that be the bridge as well?  Or does any part of the vessel suffice?  I would think “just the bridge of the target.”  But I wanted to be sure.
