... Hi Blue, I just finished a 2nd Fleet game. It was the last Intermediate scenario, I think. I keep playing the soviets, and keep losing to the air might of...
There's a 6th Fleet double blind PBEM game going on here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/6th_Fleet_NATO/ check it out. Game last played: solo 7th Fleet, 2nd...
There is a questionable point on the 2nd Fleet map (probably not the only one :-) ) between hexes 2306 and 2307. It appears (on the paper map) that there...
I have completed a reworking of the 2nd Fleet gamebox for Cyberboard designed by Glenn Rowley back to original game parameters. I have had Glenn vet the...

To be honest, this Group has been around for a long time. It has been good, because I have been able to learn much about the games, and met several people to...

Does anyone have a set of rules for PbEM Fleet series they want play tested. I remember a few years back we tried a 2nd Fleet game that sank. It was fun for...
Hi folks, I just joined this list. I have not played any of the fleet games in over ten years I think. What are the PBEM possiblities that exist. I have never...
I asked Joseph Balkoski on several subjects in relation to the fleet games over the years, some of which include the ever increasing neutrality of certain NATO...
David, A linking scenario would be a lot of fun. I'd like to have Joe's email address--you can send it to me privately if you'd like. Right now, due to time...
One complaint I had about the Fleet Series was that the USN forces in each game bore negligible resemblance to the real orders of battle for the theater they...
Today I sent an e-mail to Joseph Balkoski regarding the two last posts. As soon as he responds I will tell you what he thinks on the following subjects: 1....
Here is an e-mail I received from Mr. Balkoski today: "As to Question #1, I never did a linking scenario for the Fleet games, although that does not indicate...
... Oh, so that's why he had ships that were in the *current* Fleet and maybe only one future ship per scenario, for those 20-years-ahead ones? I think he...
Brooks, Your complaint may be valid, but keep in mind that the Fleet series emphasizes playablity over realism, when necessary. If you're really into...
I'd be curious what other modern naval games are out there besides the Fleet series. What are their drawbacks or advantages. For example: Harpoon is really a...
... Yeah but think about this. How would land gamers feel about a game of a nypothetical Warsaw Pact/NATO war, that puts the US Army division that is actually...
Hi Brooks, You definitely are a naval fan. Tell me, what are some of the things that you enjoy about the Fleet games? Also, which Fleet game is your favorite? ...
Hey guys, Just as a point of interest, lets get some chat going. I'm a student and was introduced to wargaming by my father. I was wondering: 1. What do you...
1. Technical writer. Strictly civilian. 2. My brothers played war games. From them I learned Tactics II, Foxbat vs. Phantom, and such. My first war game was...
Brooks, Thanks for the clarification on your points of argument. And there are additional "sticking points," such as why a submarine can only fire one type of...
My background: 1.) Teacher, no naval experience. 2.) I starting soloing wargames in the late 80's as a high school kid. The games were popping up at local...

1. Computer programmer IBM AS/400 / iSeries 2. Friend in Jr. High (1970?) played AH games. Of course, Naval games ROCK! I own pretty much every one ever...
Awww, the days of Tactics II, War at Sea, and Victory in the Pacific- I still have those three somewhere along with the other "beginner" games (Panzer Leader,...

I'm fairly new to the list but have been wargaming since I was too young for the Army by several years, (even though I made Vietnam Era Vet by two weeks). 1....
