I'd forgotten it was the first today and so Empire month... Oh well, lets kick it off then with a quick idea I had for an independent ship... The Halfling Hot...
Hrrm, the mention of the exploding balloons made me realize that for a naval game MoW has a shocking lack of mines. Dwarves are the most obvious choice to...
Agreed that mines would be useful. For Ork mines, I can somehow see a bunch of snotlings clinging to an innertube loaded with explosives;) -Alex ... ...
Hi! ... "Or they can release a mine-field into the water – a weapon the Dwarves rarely use. They dislike this as not very compatible with their honour and...
This is a neat idea, but I was wondering if the smells of good food would be a big draw to the more revenous beasts of the sea. Perhaps a die roll which would...
"This is a neat idea, but I was wondering if the smells of good food would be a big draw to the more revenous beasts of the sea." Or it only affects beasts...
(I wanted to post this during Dwarf month, but I just couldn't get to it until today.) In the Dwarf photos section, I just posted a scan of a page from the ...
Hey all! I just played Man O' War for the first time at Origins and, quite frankly, I fell in love. The game is great, by far better than any other naval...
Back in March, Sam had an idea for airborne High Elf Swan Ships: "Take a Hellship, put the towers of at least one Eagleship in the centre in place of the...
Nice ideas there Jeff and Bill, Howabout: The great smell of the cooking sometimes has the adverse affect of causing monsters to be drawn to the cog ignoring...
Hi, A question about pushing clear. If you move the model to the side of the ship the bows are currently in contact with, do you allow it to move around to the...
I know it's Empire month, but a question on what people feel is the correct rule for torpedos? Is a 6 = 1D6 damage or 3? The rules state both? Cheers Tony...
Hi! ... If in play against Dark-elves it could acquire pretty fast a rat-tail of maybe several Doomreavers (save only 5-6). The half-pot :) cannot out-run 6"...
Zak You have hit the nail on the head. This was exactly what I meant. The actual game mechanism of how it works needs to be contrived, however. I think the...
Hi hehe I really !really! like the ideas of the hafling hot pot - they are very man o war'is in their style. About time someone other than the orcs get...
Hi Bill ... I suggest a teardrop shaped template, 6" (9"?) long and with the radius at the broadest point at 3"(ish). Gives the effect of the smell spreading...
Hey Sean, The ships are the big problem (although alternatives like paper ships exist for those who like that kind of thing. Me? I like metal). Besides that...
Yep agree that the mechanism has to be contrived... Howsabout: Before the Hot Pot has fired place the smell template down wind of the hotpot. Once the Hot Pot...
Does anyone here knows something more about Uncharted Seas thant whats on their Homepage? I'm still interested (Sure, i would be more, if the Size of the Ships...
I checked their forum today and they said the Quick Start rules would be released soon (like in the next couple of days) so keep watching the downloads...
I LOVE the smell template! Adding an ocean blue color around the clouds would complete it nicely. I think the source of the smell should be permanat on a...
Hehe - like this alot. Do you think the hotpot is a fire every other turn weapon then - 'cooking' is a 'reloading' marker a la hellhammers... that sounds fine ...
Hi all, I wrote to Jervis a while ago asking about MOW etc and got a nice reply today, although not really what we want to hear (although not a surprise).. ...
Thanks for that, Zak, even though it is disappointing. Jeff **************Gas prices getting you down? Search AOL Autos for fuel-efficient used cars....
Hi! ... (...) ... 2 comments: a) I would NOT reduce the damage to zero!! Taking away both the damage by the cauldron and the scalding leaves as the ONLY...
Hi! ... Not really a surprise for me. They kept babbling very vaguely about a possible re-release the last 12years, if speaking up at all about that game...
... Scott normally says the written rules have precedence over the templates, as the templates were made later by different people. In this case IMHO it is a...
I'm about to post the history of Man O' War in three parts: the history of the game, the history of the minis, and various rumors throughout the years about...
The beginning: White Dwarf 143 came out in November 1991 and included concept drawings of ships for an unnamed fantasy naval wargame set in the Warhammer...
