I know about them, but I have purposefully not looked at them until I finish primary development of some ideas for Quickfire. Once I've pretty much milked the...
[Jim wrote:]Well, I guess I can admit now that for the last few weeks I've been working on a set of fast-play rules for pre-dreadnought era naval warfare. ...
I was wondering what targetsize armored cars have in the 1916-game? Should they all be classified as a Large Target, in the vehicle and equipment list?...
... Aah, I think this may be a "regional" difference between the two countries! :D I notice that if I enter "quickfirer" into Google, it asks me if I want...
... That's a good question. I see that the generic armored car listed is medium (no modifier), but the larger ones might rate an "L" instead. Do you happen to...
If you exclude vehicles which were basically self propelled guns (Auto Canon Blindé Renault, Spa Ansaldo, , most pre 1920 armoured cars were based on car ...
I have just posted the first beta copy of Quickfire, which is a set of "fast-play" rules for doing pre-dreadnought naval battles. This is a pretty early copy,...
JIM, I have a beta version of Battlefleet 3.0 and notice that the hit charts have changed c/f to the dice rolls on upperworks versus vitals combat charts. on...

Hey Peter, ... The change was only to harmonize the default die rolls used for range guessing with the die-based hit system listed in optional rule #406....
I have posted a beta update for the Admiralty rules. It includes a number of points last noted in the combat chart which had not yet been covered in the rules...
Thanbks for answering; this clears up a lot. ONE QUESTION remains: what if an armored car is bombarded during the execution of an on-call barage? What modifier...
Hey Jim Many congratulations on producing yet another set of rules. Do you ever stop? :-) I like the idea of a fast play set, and I'm impressed by the way...
They would not count as personnel targets - I think their armor would at least serve to prevent them from being considered soft. Looks like they would get a...
Hey Colin, Thanks, and no, I never stop! :D I've actually got several other sets of totally unreleased rules that have been laying around. The oldest is...
Jim, Agree with your comment on not being soft, but most if not all of these armoured cars had very thin armour (often incomplete), no splash guards and many...
I've posted more updates to the Quickfire rules (fast play pre- dreadnought), these include expanded ship stats and rules text. The torpedo rules are more...
I just posted some photos of the first castings out of the new French fleet mold. They're not *all* French ships, the latest release will also include two...
Hi Jim! I have for a while enjoyed the 1916 rules, but now decided to have a try at naval wargaming. The Quickfire rules looks good to start of with, but there...
Hey Lars, ... Sorry Lars, as you probably already noticed there is a "More text here" note under the Examples section! :o A 10 versus 10 would be a 100%...
Hi Jim! You have done it again! Tried the "Quickfire" rules last night. We played Ulsan and recived a good historical result (The Russians being battered and...
Thanks for sorting things out for me Jim. Maybe you can replace the "percentages" with labels like 1:4, 1:2, 1:1 and so on. Best regards Lars R "Jim B."...
... That's okay, either way a naval battle is the result. :) ... Good question. To be honest I haven't done much testing that involved destroyers taking lots...
Jim! Thanks for your answers. We are going to try it again soon with a more varied scenario (battleships, cruisers and destroyers/torpedo boats). By the way,...
I don't have the Chinese Steam Navy book around right now, and that's probably the best single source on the matter. An on-line quote of Philo McGiffin states...
The latest release of 1/3000 WTJ Naval pre-dreadnoughts has arrived. I finished photographing them last night and posted the new ship lists (with sample...
I have a book with drawings of a lot of WWI armoured cars; so I will make a list for every country, naming type of car (car chassis or truck), its proper name,...
