Hi I'm putting together a scenario involving the HMS Hermes and escorts around Ceylon. To determine how often the ships move, I was looking for the time scale...
You don't really need the time scale, simply a ratio of the maximum speed of the ships to the max speed of the plane. If a ship moves at approximatelty 1/10...
Hi Brian That sounded about what I thought as well Destroyers 1 hex/2 turns Cruisers 1 hex/3 turns capital ships 1 hex/ 4 turns But when I read the Channeldash...
Don't know if you're familiar with the Hermes, but when she was sunk, she wasn't carrying her airgroup. Her 12 Swordfish were deployed on Ceylon at China Bay...

Hi Gary Yes, it was going to be an apocryphal scenario. I was thinking the Hermes, Dorsetshire, Cornwall, Vampire (all sunk by Japanese aircraft) and a few...
Keith Sounds like a good base for a senario, if you are after a "midway" type scenario in the Indian ocean, you might want to consider using the two British...
Thanks Gary I am putting together a Madagasgar scenario - the attack on Diego Suarez. Albacores, Swordfish, Martletts vs Vichy MS406s and assorted ships in...
Sounds like fun in the Dutch East Indies there !! A good read on the subject is "Bloody Shambles" vol. 1 & 2 by Christopher Shores. Loads of great scenario...
Hey I am doing some digging for Operation Meridian. Most of the sources say that the Japanese only had Tojos at Palembang. But there is a personal account from...
I see several planes have Nitrous. Their is no special rules for this, so its built right into the planes stats correct? Or did I skip over something in the...
In Chris Shores book, "Airwar over Burma" they talk briefly about FAA actions over Palembang, and yes it specifically mentions Oscar fighters. No mention of...
I'll go out on a limb here and say I believe its built into the stats of each aircraft. There is a fair degree of "fudge" in all rules. I'll bet that its been...
I recently purchased some InService miniatures on e-bay. I know most of them were knock offs, however they are nice miniatures with a lot etching lines. This...
... Palembang. ... says he ... They had some Irvings, IIRC. Mistaken ID occurred in all theatres all the time, even twins as single engined and vice versa....
I can't help you with Operation Meridian, but in some of the accounts of the Fall of Malaya and Singapore, RAF pilots claimed to be fighting Me-109's. I don't...
Guys, One way to think about scale is that speed 1 is about 100 miles an hour (ABOUT). So, a ship going at 33knots would go about 1/3 hex per turn - a ship...
Keith, When you finish the Diego Suarez scenario could you please post it? I ad thought about doing that for the CY6 rules but never got around to it. Cheers, ...
Jim, Hmm..would also explain why I keep shooting myself down in testplays. Scott ... oxygen? This would explain a LOT of my flying! :) ... into the stats. I...
... Mike, Like a good wing-man, I gotch ya covered! I use a Micron 005 0.20mm black archival ink pen to do my panel lines. Can't say where it came from, as...
No problem Scott I got a loevely package from Navwar yesterday. Fulmars, Swordfish, Albacores, Martletts and some more MS406s for the Vichy. There were also...
Most model acrylic paints ranges come with inks. You can dilute those and just brush them on. The inks sit in the depressions in the moulding picking out the...
I'm new to miniature airwar gaming, just ordered the rules and some miniatures + 3" stands to to run the Swede scenario. How many 6x4 3" hex mats are you...
... in polite company. During the liberation of Kuwait an RAF Tornado pilot had to be restrained from strangling his backseater, a Dundee native. Once ...
