New ships: Well, I'm embarrassed to admit that I've been talking about "THE NEXT RELEASE" since November and they are only just getting ready to come in. The...
Had a nice little run last night using the DBSA rules vs a Japanese fleet, both fleets pretty much identical, 4 1st Class battleships, 1 Obsolete Battleship, 3...
I understand from the Great War-Yahoo Group that it is a special battalion, equipped with light machine guns, such as Lewis guns, Madsen, etc. That would make...

On the reference sheet for direct artillery fire there are three target catergories: 1) infantry, 2) mortars and machine gunes, 3) vehicles. Do you apply...
