Added a new series of photos of our most recent ww-1 game, when 12 British tanks in vain attacked the German line and got immobilised in craters & mud, broke...
Really beautiful! Are they 1/72 plastic miniatures? Did you enjoy the game? Did the german tank do something during the game? Next time you play try to make a...
Hi Patrick, sorry for not responding earlier, I didn't previously see the question about the formula. There is a formula page at the end of the ship values...
Do you mean for direct artillery fire? If so, then yes that is intentional as the soft cover doesn't qualify for cover protection against that type of direct...
The same applies for the 1916 rule set. Soft cover does not give you any protection against either small arms fire or direct artillery fire. Instead soft cover...
Hi Jim, no problem with the response time, I just figured no one knew the answer. Anyway, I compared the main and heavy secondary armament of the Nelsons with...
Nelson's heavy rating - if only applying her true mains - would still be a 10-5. The new 12" guns were better, but not better enough (!) to rate an 11-5. I...
Close, for Connecticut the heavy rating would be an 11-5 (meaning 11 for gunnery and 5 for ROF). Jim ... 7. Do you think these ratings are too high? I wish I...
Wow, the Connecticuts have a higher heavy rating than the Nelsons! So it appears I went about things in the completely opposite- and wrong- direction. I was...
I'd like to know how many Republique players ever use the Attack command? As I've been reviewing the command text and begun outlining options for attacking...
Hi Jim! As far as I can remember I don't think that we have used the Attack order even once. Normally you attack terrain features which is handled by the Move...
Jim, I use the ATTACK order regularly and I'll explain. I view MOVE as an order issued when enemy contact is not anticipated. If the division is stopped short...
Hi Jon, Thanks for the info. In the rules, a division under Move orders does not revert to Defend if it comes within contact range of an enemy. Is this your...
Hi Rick, The only thing I ever considered using the Attack order for was pursuit, which it does lend itself to. I think currently the items I have slated for...
Jim, Approximatley when is the next release of new ships due and I happened to notice that some ships that I had previosly ordered for you such as the Uss...
I have a restock order in with the foundry for Oregon and most of the other ships on the Out of Stock list (posted at Game Shop 1 under Ordering Details)....
Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the wtj_wargames group: What types of ships would you like to see added to the WTJ Naval line of 1/3000...

I want to make a plug for later ships. WHats available for WW1 is really poor when compared to our WTJ ships. I would love to see a WW1 range of such quality. ...
I voted for the older ironclads and the dutch and scandinavian navy. The ironclads because most of them were still in use during the period covered by wtj...
I too voted for the older vessels, I just love those turret ships and broadside ironclads. I also voted for the later pre-dreads, so I guess I went with both ...
Just going to build Russian 1st Pacific Squadron for RJW and so looking for ships to complete it. WTJ ships are excellent but the following are missed: ...
The Rossia and Aurora are only out of stock right now (they are usually available) and I have a restock order in with the foundry right now. Unfortuantely the...
Hi there Jim, just a thought, but if you were to do earlier period pre-dreads, (more sort of ironclads - 1860's - 1880's) would you consider changing scale? ...
I would advise against such a thing. To m, the main appeal of the old ironclads would be to use the ones which were still afloat during the predreadnaught...
I would second the vote to stay with 1/3000 scale. I understand Doug´s point on size (and as I get older those ships are harder and harder to see!), but I too...
I agree with both points regarding scale. So: what about two? Would a 1/3000 and, say, a 1/1200 be feasible? Two scales ideal for two different jobs. Just a...
