Topic: Playing a big game tonight!

We're doing a mini-Jutland/trial game.

2 English battle divisions + an attached cruiser squadron (acting independently) and an attached battlecruiser squadron (acting independently)

vs.

1 German battle squadron & an attached battlecruiser squadron (acting independently)

We're not doing any fancy scenario or anything this time around.  Mainly just getting used to the rules.   That's why every player has some ships that are acting in the independent movement phase so we can get used to all of it. 

We're also trying out some minor house rule tweaks that I've developed.  If they work out I will post them.

I also made some player aids (ship order sheets and such) that again, if they work out well I will post.

I'm thinking about running GF at GenCon. . . we'll see how tonight goes!

Sounds cool.
I'd like to hear your house rules.
And also which GenCon you'd be attending.

Re: Playing a big game tonight!

I'm guessing you found my house rules in the files section?  Any comments?  I know there's not a HUGE amount to them. . . but I don't really feel the game needs a huge amount of house rules.

I'm attending GenCon Indy.

Oh. . . the Germans got pounded. . . ended with two dreadnoughts limping away from the fight. . . but not before they completely pulverized my battlecruiser and battle squadrons.  LOL!!
