Yes, I've given thought - off and on - to these very things. Since they are coupled with the pending reordering of the formation rules, I'm taking it slowly...
Call me old fashioned but I think that formations of line, column and square are pretty fundamental to Napoleonic tactics and grand tactics, certainly at the...
... Well, tactically they are, but at grand tactical levels things become a bit more complex. A brigade or regiment with its component battalions in lines...
Jim, Are you considering a minimum gap between regiments/brigades/divisions? On the one hand, one could say that the bases represent the areas dominated by the...
... breaking up light units in to skirmishers. That will probably be related to the Detachments rules that I will be working on. With each unit being a...
... There may be some changes to the formation density (not basing) and that will impact whether deployment gaps will become "advised" or not. However in real...
I enjoyed Battlefleet 1900 alot a few years ago. Just saw WTJ site and I see that it has gotten upgraded alot since. New rules look great! I was wondering if...

Hi Mike, I've been giving some thought to that but it will likely be a while before I can get back to BF1915. The current slate is to get BF1900 3.0 posted...
BTW Mike, I'm curious about the scale you use for the WWI naval. As already noted, I'm working on WWI ships for the 1/3000 scale WTJ Naval line and I'm...
... My own observation is that 1/3000 tends to be more popular in the UK and possibly other Commonwealth and 1/2400 is more popular in the US. As for me, in...
I'm in the states, and I'd prefer 1/2400. Actually, with the 1/2400 Panzerschiffle line, and the others available in the states, I'm not sure I've even ever...
I must admit to a preference for 1/3000th scale vessels for anything later than about 1880 or so. 1/1200th before 1800 is good given the smaller size of the...
Hi Dan, FYI, the black/ochre ship on the home page of this Group is a 1/3000 model (Spanish battleship Pelayo). Just so you can say you saw one! :) My...
Hi Phil, If the schedule holds, I hope to have the first 17 SKUs posted in the next few days. They were supposed to ship last month, but I gave the foundry...
I've taken some photos of untrimmed "first article" pewter castings for the imminent release of European ships. These quick shots are posted in the Photos...
I'd like to ask if anyone can make some fairly simple and standard suggestions regarding pre-WW1 (shades of grey) paint guides by nation (for the 1/3000 ships...
Dan, There is a general outline in Game Shop 1 which gives a quick overview of paint schemes. The URL is: http://www.wtj.com/store/gameshop/shop1/ Click on...
I am currently working on a Flash based ship log generator, however that is not far enough along to be able to make any promises on ready-date. Since a number...
I have posted the 3.0 update of Battlefleet 1900 to the main Gaming page at WTJ. Most people will already be familiar with the changes from the long beta...
Right now the emphasis is on Battlefleet 1915 and Republique. However, there are probably some realtively easy things that could be done to broaden Admiralty a...
Hey Jim I've been keeping my head down for a while - work, family, etc. - but a recently rekindled interest in WW1 got me looking again at 1916. It was only a...
Maybe I'll get in before anyone else does... As someone smarter than I evidently am would say: Doh! Having read the rules now, I see that they're based on...
Lucky for you I was too tired to type anything last night! :) Well, not quite "too tired" but I had been working on updating Portal links and just didn't feel...
The first batch of European pre-dreadnoughts for the WTJ Naval line has just been posted to game shop one (at WTJ). The next batch coming up in Frebruary will...
