Hi all, I'm new to this group and some what new to the Fleet system. I have three of the games (2nd, 5th and 6th) but have only played 6th Fleet once. I have...
... I would suspect not for two possible reasons: 1) The combat values were tailored for each game (even though some games had similar or same values.) 2)...
The rules for the various games are basically the same, but there are many important differences in detail in addition to the ones Tracy mentioned. E.g. in...

I've always assumed that the rules could never be reconciled, but now I wonder if, for the ambitious fleet gamers, we could ever come up with something close...
hi Just joined the crew: though I am not really a "fleet" player . I own some but never actually played it (mostly for want of oponent). A fanatical veteran...
Steve, I like that idea. It shouldn't be too hard but for what purpose would we do it? The idea of a combined global campaign has some appeal but I can't...
David, I have just started up a new PBEM game of 2nd Fleet as the GM and I am playing in another, plus a game of 5th Fleet by email. They take a while but the...
I don't know, it might be useful to have standardised rules just for those playing multiple games! I'd forgotten how different the rules to 2nd were compared...
I suppose setting up *your* 2nd_Fleet PBeM game explains why I haven't received your Soviet Air orders in 5 days in *my* 2nd_Fleet PBeM game? ... -- BT Tracy...

I agree, a single ruleset for those playing multiple games is a great idea. I think balance is a concern for scenarios played, but it is good to realize the...
Just wanted to introduce myself. My wife got me a Fleet Series game although I wont find out till my bday tomorrow which one. Was glad to find a group to ask...
Hi David, The best choice would be to find a local veteran who has played before who can play face-to-face, then you can dig into the rules from a solid...
I am in Jackson,MS, and don't know any grognards around here. I'm actually still waiting on the game to arrive. In the meantime I got 7th Fleet off of ebay,...
As many of you know, the Fleet tournament fizzled out about 3 years ago at World Boardgaming Championships, held in August in Lancaster Pennsylvania. It's...
WOW. I just finished my first ever Fleet Series game. I received 7th Fleet Wednesday, and played Scenerio #1: Civil War in the Phillippines. Here is a short...
Just joined up. Great to see some support still out there for the FLEET games. I have 2nd, 7th, and USED to have 5th Fleet, but finally gave in to the...
If a side has a INT unit in the Strategic air display over a zone, and the other side doesnt. Can that INT intercept air units moving within the zone?...
I always played that drms did apply to the bounce segment, so an EW on strategic interception guarantees success in bounce attacks if the air to air combat is...
That was my take, but it seems wrong. If you gain control of the skies over a zone, and can drive off recon an EW planes, why wouldn't you be able to engage...
A strategic recon or mining mission goes continuously all day long. It doesn't take a lot to disrupt it, and winning the air to air strategic battle simulates...
Welcome, new members! Here's my attempts to answer some questions. Some of you guys are better at this than I, so feel free to correct me. David Whitt writes:...
I've always thought of it in much the same way - you are potentially covering a large area for 24 hours with maybe 12-15 aircraft. What the game is trying to...
That's one thing the Fleet Series lacks, an EMCON rule that modifies detections. (No doubt optional.) ... -- BT Tracy Johnson Justin Thyme Productions Ye olde...
I think I misunderstood David's original post. I thought he asked if air units in an empty zone pull back enemy air units that may have transversed his zone to...
Right, I had a F-4 as on Strategic INT mission over the South China Zone. The Soviet's strategic INT Mig-23 had been forced to return to base. It seems that if...
