I used to play quite a bit of "Fleet" years ago, and finding Ian Raine's WestPac '78 material recently has rekindled my interest. As my own contribution I've...
Wow. I gotta say, these new maps are really beautiful. Nice job using photoshop, JCarp. If you fleetgamers haven't gotten them, I highly recommend you go to...
Thanks, Steve. One of the reasons I wanted to make those was to open up the options for using the Chinese, but it does raise the question of what forces would...
Greetings, Well done on these map expansions! This is particularly timely, given the expansion of naval bases on Hainan recently. I work with several Chinese...
Thanks, Geof, but my research wasn't terribly deep. I checked globalsecurity, wiki and this: http://www.ausairpower.net/APA-PLA-AFBs.html I also checked the...
I would think that shallow water would be any hex in which one would not normally encounter a thermocline layer. I.e. subs cannot "hide" below the "layer" to...
My earlier reply about CZs was bass-akwards. Their lack in shallow water would benefit the sub, not make it more vulnerable. I think I may have found what...
Anyone read "Scorpion Down!" There is a nice section about the the discovery of the deep water sound channel and SOSUS. According to the interviews, from the...
... Another fairly reputable source is The Military Balance, an annual publication by the IISS. My 1996/97 (and I don't imagine it changed that much in ten...
Great detail, I have not read that book, but it is now on my list. Speaking of Soviet Subs and the Cuban Missile Crisis, have you read this material? ...
Hy everyone, this post concerns the "The Problem of Sequence: Interactive 3rd Fleet" article published in "The GENERAL" Vol.27,No.2. Regarding "The Problem of...
It turns out that I know the author of that article and I forwarded this question to him. Unfortunately he doesn't play the Fleet games any more and doesn't...
I think it just adds unneeded complexity to the game system. A system I think intended more or less to simulate wartime fleet management on an 8 hour turn...
There are some good ideas in that article, and the problems he cited are real. However, I agree that the proposed system as a whole is way too cumbersome to...
Hy Jim, if it is not a problem for You i could send You the rules about "Opportunity fire" in .PDF format in order to make Thomas Dworschak (the author) read...
Tom said he "wouldn't know an Akula from an apple any more." I don't think prodding him again would do any good. This often happens with game designers also....
Ok, thank You anyway ;-) I'll try to set rules with my friends. Regards ... don't think prodding him again would do any good. This often happens with game...
Flamearrow, I've been following this thread and what to chip in at this point. I agree with Jim--one of fleet's strengths is that it's a quick-playing...
I agree that the logistics rules make the game alot more fun, since you have to think more strategicaly about the game. The sub rules look interesting,...
Has anyone played the Asian Fleet game, designed by Humiya Shinohara, published by Kokusai Tsushin in 2007? This appears to be a follow on to the Fleet...
I haven't played it, but it was that photo of their playtest map that inspired me to finally make my extensions. The "Fleet" folder over in Consimworld has...
Excellent. See post 2439 in ComsimWorld Fleet series for my initial comments. Since then I completed the translation of the rules: they are basically those...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I just found this group and I'm very excited. I played 7th Fleet when it was new back in the 80's and had no idea there was such a ...
Welcome aboard! You're asking about the Yellow Sea and Hainan extensions? They're in Adobe Photoshop format and shouldn't require any special app. If you're...
What has been found to be the best method for making custom counters? I was thinking of doing them in MS PowerPoint since I am very familiar with how it works...
Thanks! I'm in the process of moving right now, so it will be a little while before my fleet is seaworthy. I like the cold war feel of the games for 80's...
For Custom counters, I use the counter builder that is part of Aide de Camp (ADC). http://www.hpssims.com/Pages/products/adc2/ADC2-Main.html. It is fairly...
