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...
Can you please post the map extensions in jpeg? I don't have photoshop. ... of ... compatibility ... the ... hunt ... that ... it I ... the ... and ... I've ...
Sorry, I just learned that PCs have a hard time with the .psd format. I'm so used to the mac NOT being able to do what everyone else can that I forget it...
I really want to buy Asian Fleet and it's two expansions. Can you provide the translated set of rules that you mention as well as point me in a direction for...
Thanks. The holes in the sheet were for their midget subs, but then I realized it would take some serious thought in coming up with values for them. Do you...
I just saw your post here and having recently been 'forced' to switch to CS4 for work, I am having one heck of a time with the interface. Do you know much...
Hey Sean, You have a lot of energy for this game, and that is infectious. I have dusted off plans to generate a database to analyze the VG games' unit values...
Sorry, Marty, I have no experience with inDesign and only minimal with Illustrator. I've never found Adobe's support very helpful either. Good luck, and I wish...
Hi guys, Been following the latest round of discussions with interest. I have been working on and off and generating a comprehensive set of countersheets to...
Bryan, That's an impressive list of counters you are working on and I'd love to see your results. I'd be down with helping and/or colaborating but I'll need a...
Geof, Would love to, although I have no experience with vassal play. Do you need a hard copy of the game to play? If so, it will take me a little while to...
I found the following site that has a lot of drawings that can be used for Fleet Series counter design http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k279/shipbucket/ Ward...
Don, Thanks. These are great...and dangerous! I forsee an AEGIS, exocet- armed Scharnhorst in my future. Anybody have a formula to compute the close-combat...
