Looks better than the one I made a few years ago and put in the files section.

I wasn't complaining, I was running a squadron of Japanese battleships, and the Japanese did come out worse for wear on that engagement.  (not that the two facts are necessarily correlated  big_smile )

So essentially, the bonus of crossing the T is the application of Lanchester's Square Law for a turn or two?

I played a game today about a hypothetical warplan orange engagement with a squadron of battlecruiser and battleship per side in order to learn the game.  One question that did come up during play was crossing the T. 

A Lexington (5 pen) managed to cross the T on a Kongo (3/1+) while also having another Kongo in the same range band broadside-on, and one of our players felt is was unfair that he would get less dice shooting at the Kongo that was head-on due to the larger overpen penalty.  Were we missing something/doing something wrong?  Or is this simply net effect the smaller target offsetting the increased fudge-factor on ranging? 

Cheers,
