I just added two photos of a silver master of the Russian battleship Retvizan to the WTJ Naval directory in the Photos section. As with the others, it is a...
If you want any public testing when you reach 'beta', please email me at murdock@... (just found this newsgroup). I help run an online version of Heart...
Hi Peter, I'm not quite ready for a beta release yet, mainly because of a couple of things I'm still resolving. I would however, be happy to let you see the...
I'll be gentle. I'd be happy to just do a onceover for now and give some alpha level suggestions; then reapproach it from an editing standpoint in beta. Peter...
Jim, just a quick pointer for you, if you wanna get a quick photo of a new miniature and you wanna get the detail to be brought out for the photo give it a...
Hey Lee, Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately I can't do that to the silver masters. They have been polished and cleaned in preparation for plating, and so...
Hey Jim I finally got around to photographing some of my models, and have put some pictures of my Russians in the photos section. I haven't done this before,...
I checked the directory and your four picture seem to be inside. Looks alright to me. ?? Actually, I had never seen the Navwar Retvizan before, so that was ...
I just posted the beta version of the Admiralty fighting sail rules. Everything needed for general game play is there including rules text, combat chart, ship...
Hi I've just found this group, I've been a fan of pre-dreadnought gaming for years but finding a decent ruleset has been a challenge so I've let it lapse for a...
... Looks good, 1/3000th seems like the sort of scale I'm after - are you doing any of those off-beat French ships, and any of the odd coastal defence ships? ...
A definite yes on the French ships. The main battleships circa 1895- 1900 are done (Charles Martel, Jareguiberry, Massena, etc.) and I'll be working on the...
Here is a running account of an Admiralty Fighting Sail playtest. It 's rather light on game mechanics details but gives an idea of overall game pace. The...
Hi Jim and all, its Lee here. I just thought you'd like tohear the results of the playtesting we did this weekend for Admiralty. The overall impressions were...
P.s does anybody out there know of any record that gives a 1st rate HMS Rotislav as being part of the British fleet, and Jim, Sid said you explained how you...
Hi lee, That sounds great, especially if you were using the Alpha set. The Beta set includes some boarding refinements, although I'm not sure that would have...
Jim, I would just like to add to Lee's comments by saying that the game was great fun, fast and easy to pick up. To quote the other British commander after 3...
I think the possibility of a CR during such a raking fire would greatly increase though? For every "6" other then your first rolled "6" would be a roll on the...
I'll probably revert to a feature that was originally on the chart: A 1/2G hit for the -2 Hull Target line. That's functionally similar to what Simon...
I've posted a new Beta Page update for the Admiralty fighting sail rules. It includes a number of things already being worked on along with changes as a result...
I've also added a Surrender option on the combat chart which currently has no text explaination in the rules. It applies only to ships which are immobile and...
Hi Refering to the recent posts about Pre-Dreadnoughts. I am going to paint some Russo-Japanese War ships in 1/3000 scale (Navwar). I have several sources that...
I just posted a couple of new closeup shots of the Retvizan and Oregon in the Photos section at left. There are also a few other new photos in the Sample...
The Japanese ships were black hull and funnels with white upperworks for peace time. Wartime colors were grey grey grey. Kind of a medium bluish grey if the...
Jim Afraid I've been out of the country and didn't get the chance to reply. Anyway, nothing to add to what you say - you are after all the world's living...
Thanks Jim and Colin! Your answers clarified my own best source for the Russian ships (A Russian Booklet which I canīt read). I painted my Russians Pacific...
