From what I have read, at least from before Tiberius, Roman marines were equipped like Roman auxiliaries, which would be chain mail, round shields. This is a...
Hello Bill, ... To tread water, a ship must be at "Zero" speed. In this mode, the ship is just keeping from drifting, remaining stationary (without ...
I have a question about Rule 6.07 "Treading Water." Does a ship have to decelerate down to Speed zero in order to tread water, or can it tread water at any...
If attempting to replicate the maneuver from the hex-based rules, I would simply say that a side slip involves a certain amount sideways movement per X amount...
Were I to consider 'going hexless', I'd say that you will want to simplify where possible. You are already adding a lot of potential for extra time spent...
When measuring artillery/archer/slinger fire from ship-to-ship, using a hexless system, is it appropriate to measure from deck-to-deck (the deck of the firing...
Well the disc arrived today while I was at work. Will make time tomorrow to investigate fully - this is the right time to restart making my fleets. I am so...
Eric & Meryl, So, how would you propose to deal with sideslipping on a non-Hex playing surface? -- Jeff ================================ Re: [roman_seas] Roman...
I was thinking along the same line. The only variation would be the scale of ships. If using 1/300th scale, then 4" - 5" per hex of movement/range will work,...
I haven't tried it, but I think an easy solution would be to just convert hex movement to inches - say 4 or 5" per hex, with turns of UP TO 60' (rather than...
Hi, Ordered and got the Roman Seas rules today, and was wondering whether anyone had already looked into playing without hexes (so replacing hex movement by...
Eric, Thanks, the files arrived safely . . . and I like that these ships are green and yellow contrasting with the red and blue Roman ships. -- Jeff...
Jeff, I usually work until I am too tired to continue... like right about now. Your Carthaginian Navy Set has been sent. You should have it shortly if not...
Eric, "My Account" indicates that I made the purchase at "Order Date: 11/16/2009 02:54:16" . . . which makes me guess that they're not in the Pacific time...
Hello Jeff, Annoying... but since the error message stated I had no sales, I figured you will never see the update via www.Wargamevault.com. I added the...
Eric, I just checked my email (at 2:52 Pacific -- I'm over on Vancouver Island) and so far there is neither an email update to me; nor have the product files...
Eric, I just downloaded the "Roman Seas: Rulebook Deluxe Edition", which is supposed to include the Carthaginian ships . . . but they weren't in my download....
Re: [roman_seas] Further Complications . . . *grin* I checked them all, and it looks like RPGNow, Wargame Vault and DriveThruRPG are all up to date (fingers...
Eric, Just to further complicate things, "DriveThruRPG" is yet another "front" for the same "WargameVault" / "RPGNow" company . . . and it also seems to have...
Hello To All, It took a while, but I figured out why Roman Seas products were only showing up at RPGNow and not at Wargame Vault. I fixed the problem. Foolish...
Hello To All, I have run into a small problem. I switched my web links from www.RPGNow.com to www.Wargamevault.com. It is the same company. This was at the...
Hello To All, I updated the Roman Seas website: I added a "Links" page. This will be a page for online supporters of Roman Seas, such as Baccus, and BLOGS...
Hello To All, The Roman Seas rulebook will be up for sale at www.wargamevault.com (www.rpgnow.com) at midnight, November 16th. I am adding a note file to the...
In the convoy scenario I had 11 ships on Pompey's blockading force while the convoy force had 7 galleys and 9 transports. For the 289 AD game I the Imperial...
Re: [roman_seas] Roman Seas at Fall In! Very impressive. Great photographs and battle action reports! How many ship models did you have in each game? E.H. I...
Jeff, I agree with Eric's comments. The rules should be easily understandable even without an experienced guide. I started with the rules just this summer,...
Jeff, My experience with new Roman Seas players has been that they pick up on game play very quickly. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the hardest), I'd put...
