Hello everyone from Jacksonville in NE Fla. 

Tropical Storm Fay is finally moving away!   It has been a wet-n-wild three days...  :shock:
Earlier in the week some 1/1800 WW2 naval miniatures came in the mail.  They are already assembled & painted, and look good.  These figures are made for the Axis&Allies War@Sea game. (Its an interesting game, but does Not work for me)
This got me thinking about expanding the SAE-Dreadnought Game into WW2, using the design criteria from the WW1 ships.  Although aircraft were a big factor in this war, there were many ship-vs-ship battles.
Here is what I came up with for the KMS Bismark:

KMS Bismark (CR=1422) 
 
Hull: 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1   
Engines: 7 7 7 7 6 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1   
Armor: 5 5 5 5 5 5 4 4 4 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 2 2 2 2 1 1 1 1 1   
Weapons: 1:X 2:Y 3:Y 4:Z 5:Z 6:
 
X: "15"/47 Guns"  8/16/24, 2/5+/1/4
Piercing +3
[GHIJK][GHIJK][HIJKL][HIJKL] 
 
Y: "5.9"/55 Guns"  5/10/15, 2/4+/1/1
[HCE][AHJ][AHJ][BIK][BIK][IDF][IDF] 
 
Z: "4.1"/65 Guns"  3/6/9, 2/4+/1/1
Anti-Fighter
[HCE][HCE][AHJ][AHJ][BIK][BIK][IDF][IDF] 
 
Special: Anti-Fighter Batteries

The 300 degree arcs for the 15"Guns is larger than they really had, but this is to compensate for the ship being only able to move in 6 different directions.  In reality, these ships would change heading slightly to keep a target in arc. 
I gave the 4.1" guns the Anti-fighter ability; once I figure out how to use 'em against aircraft it will be useful.  I contemplated giving the heavy guns "Starship-exclusive", but am not sure if this is needed.
I was wondering if the special "Armored Plating"  would be of any use in WW2 dreadnoughts, or if it should be left out as in the WW1 ships.  I plan to use this SAE-DN, WW2 for conventions or for gaming with the c100 A&A-W@S figures I have. 
All thoughts, ideas, criticisms, are-you-out-of-your-mind!, etc are welcome. 8)
