Just so people will know things are still going on at WTJ despite high oil prices and world-wide uncertainty about the situation in Iceland, I thought I'd post...
Hello, Looking for info on Germans at MB. Also I read that the English and Japanese had some ships there as well. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks ...
Hey Kevin, Below is a list of German ships and their dates of arrival on Pacific Station: 1897 Prinzess Wilhelm Kormoran Kaiser Arcona Irene 1898 Kaiserin...
Below are copies of two postings, one by Doug and one by me, the two ... Now that I have a German Far East Fleet, I was looking at it's RN counterpart, and...
Very good info. Should make for an interesting scenario. Not only does Dewey have the possible Spanish reinforcements, but now German. Thanks, Kevin...
As Jim says, the 4 ships of the Brandenburg Class plus Furst Bismarck were sent to the Far East in 1900 as a show of strength in the Boxer Rising. The list I...
I completed a statistical review of the current and beta test version of Republique's combat charts. I found changing the type of die used DOES NOT correct...
I know we have flog this topic many times but I have a burning question as I'm about to paint my 2nd Pacific Fleet. I was going to paint the ships black with...
Hi Dan, I am all for reducing the chance of wide disparity of dice results (this alone has put me off Republique, which is otherwise a good set of rules). I...
... Hi Charles: Thanks for your interest. You're right, the 2D6 curve does give a sharper drop at the ends. However the general problem remains. To understand...
Dan, I agree with your approach and have built a solution very similar to yours. I maintained the 2D6 for assault but modified the die roll differences. With...
I agree with your approach. The modifiers definitely skew the results and I think they are too strong. Remember though that the modifiers don't change the...
Jon got it right when he wrote, "Everyone must make the choice as to which type of game they enjoy." My vote is well behind a game that nine times out of ten...
David, Your goal in a wargame mirrors my own and I do agree that combat is (and shoud be) a risky proposition. With a potential unmodified DR differential of...
All: So what is the general recommendation with regard to the beta test set? I get the impression everyone is satisfied with the modifiers and chart results...
Dan, I don't have a recommendation but I think the beta charts (as well as the original charts) may provide too much variability in results for my tastes. On...
Jon: Today I revised the beta chart and tested the potential results. The revision eliminates the original chart's variability. However, the modifiers ware not...
Dan I do not know if you have thought to set out your graph in terms of result bands rather specific results - in other words showing as a single entry on the...
The potential disparity in results due to differences in D10 rule seems to be a running sore with some people - among whom I am one. But of course others ...
David: Thanks for the feedback. I reposted the file using a bar chart so the individual results can be read more clearly. I also took your suggestion and made...
Dan, Here are the 2D6 Assault breakdowns I've been using: 14+ 12,13 10,11 8,9 6,7 4,5 2,3 0,1 -1,-2 -3,-4 -5,-6 -7,-8 -9 and below Would you mind adding these...
Jon: Thanks for your numbers. I graphed and loaded their probability in the Proposed Beta Revision file. I think it looks very good. It slightly favors the...
Hi Phil, hope you are well; it seems ages since we chatted. That reminds me, I'm working in Bristol for a week soon, are you still in the area? Anyway,...
Dan, I am having trouble understanding your tables. Would you please change them when you have time to show what is being represented in the columns and how...
... Dan, Yes, I've play-tested the Assault table (and have been usin this for quite some time) I posted and that you so kindly added to your tables and graphs....
I've been literally in the middle of moving (having spent the previous 10 days packing) and was unable to give a thorough read to any of this thread. Even now...
Jim: I am the guilty one that stirred the pot. I am looking for a set of Nap rules. I liked what I read in Republique and asked a general wargame group if they...
