I agree: it would definitely take weeks, if not months, to control Anatolia--the *entire* country of Turkey. How long do you think it would take to transit ...
I've just been playing the original 2nd Fleet game with my friend, after years of 7th and 5th, and I'm noticing that subs have a much harder in this game....
I've never adjusted 2nd fleet to fit the later ones. If you do you should keep in mind that the victory comditions are set-up for the game as it was designed...
Hello, just about to start a game of 5th Fleet. I have played the other fleet games before but not this one do you have any ideas on tactics for both sides...
Sorry did not say which scenario it is "Scenario 12" in the advanced game and am I correct that you can attack bases which are off the map with bombing combat...
... Allies biggest threat is probably their air power - the Persian Gulf can pen your main offensive air units in for the game, so as Soviets, I would suggest...
... The rule section on off map bases specifically say that Cruise missle attacks are allowed. Unless you rebase the B-52, I doubt that you will ever get a...
My 2nd Fleet PBeM has reached an impasse, all Soviet players are busy with other projects (like work) to play. Looking for someone to take Charge. This is a...
Looks like my responder didn't pan out. 2nd try, wider-net: ... In addition, I'd like to add that as played, it is a slow game. As it is incumbent upon the...
I'm looking to pick up a copy of the old 5th Fleet boardgame from Victory Games. Anyone got a copy they are willing to part with? Thank you, Ed [Non-text...

3rd try, CBML added. Still looking for a Soviet Player for 2nd Fleet http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/2nd_Fleet_Soviet/ If no response by this time I'll...
Now that 4th Fleet has been reestablished I'll have to split off the Caribbean map off of 3rd Fleet and make it a separate ziplock game! -- Tracy Johnson Old...
I have volunteered to GM an Intermediate level scenario of 2nd Fleet at Conquest SF (Santa Clara, California). I just submitted my entry, and it hasn't been...
I was re-reading The Boardgamer Volume 6, Issue 2 which includes an article entitled The Compleat Fleet written by Charles Duke. In this excellent article, Mr....
That's not where I would have expected to find it. Thanks. --Greg ... -0700Subject: [VG's Fleet League] 2nd Fleet - non-Norwegian air units activating from...
Now that I look at it more closely, I see that rule 10.2 only restricts non-Norwegian INT or ATK air units initiating Bombing and SSM Combat. There is no...
A few years ago I spent a lot of time to refind the rule, and it wasn't where I hade expected to find it either, so I'm quite confident that there is no...
Hello. We have been playing 5th Fleet for some time now and one of our players questioned the detection rules for example. If there is a US sub in a hex and...
All the subs combine their ASW values. On p. 17 it says that subs may even combine their ASW values with surface ships during the Action Phase to detect a sub...
Hi, This is not quite the way I read the rule. You can only attempt one local detection attempt for a submarine located in a limited detection zone. And you...
Bryan, You are correct that you can make only one detection attempt, but incorrect in limiting the detecting units to one hex. The local detection rule (9.2...
The stack (togetherness is implied) or single unit limitation only exists on Clause 1 of the Local Detection Phase versus surface units. In a way it is moot,...
Hi, Is there anybody who plays VG Fleet series in the Philadelphia/South Eastern Pennsylvania region? I would love to actually play the game. Thanks, Mark...
Mark, I"ll be at World Boardgaming Championships from August 2 to the 10th. It's in Lancaster, PA. I know we could get a game going there. Steve Williams ...
Wow. I think I"ve been playing this detection rule wrong for years. Brian, I also thought it was limited to subs and ships in the same hex. Man, now I want...
