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...
OK sounds good, but what if a INT is included with that air mission? Would you have to go to the air-to-air combat first? I'm just full of questions..LOL ...
You can have an air to air combat during an airstrike if the defender has a CAP mission in range of the path of the airstrike. Unlike strategic air, a CAP...
I'm pbem a 2nd Fleet doubleblind game. We have choose all optional rules included the Tattletares. This rule says all NATO Surface Units will be strategically...
I don't think it appears in the any of the others that I can recall (certainly not 5th or 3rd). 160 ships does not seem to be a lot to track the number of...
I want clarify the numbers are for the entire russian navy. That ships were divided into the Northern Fleet (2nd Fleet), Pacific Fleet (7th Fleet) and ...
Maintaining strategic detection would be really really hard I think. These trawlers would have a life expectancy of a few hours at most near a surface action...
Engaging a pun on someone else's typo is one of the funnier Internet forms of humor. As long as everyone understands there is no insult or harm intended. ... ...
Ops, I took it now! It's Tattletales, not tattletares! :-D Sorry for the misconfusion. As Celia says, my english is not very good looking. Regards, Manuel ... ...
No confusion, I read what I expected to see, which is probably why it took me a couple of reads to understand Tracy's pun. ... good ... Internet forms ... harm...
... In ideal terms it means that. In practical terms it may not amount to much. The first double-blind game of 2nd Fleet ever played PBEM took advantage of a...
One of the cool things about the Fleet games is that every game is different. In my solo 2nd fleet campaign game, Tattletales proved pivotal. NATO set up each...
