In some of the "Quickfire" scenarios, they mention "points" (specifically a reference of over/under 24 points) for merchants/transports passing a certain...
Hi Dennis, Some scenarios refer to size points - usually a total number of size points. For example, a player might need to pass a total minimum of 16 size...
Jim and others, OK, how would points be awarded? By tonnage? Arbitrarily? Are there charts for mechants, transports, etc, giving point values? Sometimes I get...
You should note ship Size on the data charts for each nationality. Formulas for calculation are in Quickfire Ship Stat Formula link, and are based on tonnage...
As Stephen already noted, the size points are calculated by tonnage, with each point equalling roughly 1,000 tons. The breakdown is modified slightly both by...
I would like to hear from anyone interested in science fiction and sci-fi gaming for a new project I have developed. This will not be posted at WTJ, but WTJ's...
Jim, What models do you recommend for the following Yosemite and Antonio Lopez http://web.archive.org/web/20050204161957/home.coqui.net/sarrasin/antonio.htm ...
Hi Steve, You know, the funny thing about predreadnought period ships is that no matter how many are made, there's always one more that does not look like any...
Jim, Thanks for the help! I may very well go with the Orel and Foudre and try my scratchbuilding skills to modify them up a bit. In the next month or so, my...
Both ground and space ops eventually, although it's technically ground units that I'm releasing first. I say technically because the miniatures are not like...
All sent. Once I'm done getting some initial feedback and made some final corrections, I'll post the link on-line, etc. The next step after that will be to get...
Just a quick question regarding speed boxes. Are players required to announce which undamaged speedbox they intend to use for a ship during the movement phase?...
Hi Carlos, I would say in most normal situations there would (hopefully) be no need for that. However in situations where it matters, players might want to...
Thanks for the input so far. I've gotten in the main lot of miniatures and completed all of the initial copy editing for the stories and rules. The link for...
Hi Jim, Thanks for the clarification. So if for example I declare that the speed box I'm using for my vessel is the "45mm box", am I compelled to move that...
Ummmm, technically yes. But we never usually play like that. So long as nobody is grossly bending the rules, players are left to their good merits. Also, is...
Hi, Now I'm working on 1/3000 WTJ Japanese Cruisers. They are my first ships in this scale and I have some problem with a bases. I have read the WTJ article...
Hello Vasiliy, I used orangewood sticks to create the water texture. They are blunt and slightly rounded, so they leave just the right impression in the putty....
Thanks, Jim I found a pictures of an orangewood sticks in Internet, but there are many different sticks' sizes. What size do you use? And where I can buy it in...
Hi, The recommendations about this color on WTJ's site are very complex. In the real life by Russian sources it was a mix of 1 part of black paint and 3 parts...
I'm pretty sure the sticks were 3/16" or 1/4" diameter, with the blunt rounded ends... not the ones with the flat, sharp ends. I used the rounded end to...
To add another basing scheme to the mix. I started by using a glue stick to temporarily adhere the ships to be based (before painting) to a thin plastic (i...
Hi Vasiliy, That's a very good question. The black paint available at the turn of the century was not the same quality as black paint today. In fact the...
does anyone know of any off the shelf Napoleonic Campaign Rules please? Having persuaded some of the lads to try Republique I'm now being asked for an 1809 or...
