Topic: Gaming Grand Fleets large scale!

All the discussion about GF over at TMP has me pulling out the rules again for WWII. I have finally picked up more kits so my US fleet is improving. I now have 5 Heavy and 2 Light Cruisers and 6-7 Battlewagons plus a load of DD's. The CL's held me up a while since they run about 30 dollars each. Funny some of the BB's run 10-12 dollars. The Atalntic British and German ships are generally pretty cheap (about the same price in 1/700 as in GHQ 1/2400). They are all in my preffered scale of 1/700. I increased my table size as well. I plan on running some games. My table is FINALLY staying cleared off on a regular basis. The only thing I need to decide on is whether to do the Pacific or Atlantic. Lots of great scenarios for both!

Thanks,

John

We're running a big 1/700 scale game on the floor at our local con in October. . .  I think so far we've got 5 or 6 allied BBs, 4 or 5 axis BBs and we're working on heavy cruisers at this point.

Atlantic or Pacific? US Cruisers are fairly pricey compared to most others. The German Navy is a relative bargain.  :-)

Pacifc mostly I think.  Another guy has most of the ships.  I only have six or seven from a mix of axis and allied powers.

Re: Gaming Grand Fleets large scale!

And speaking of the Pacific, I've got scenarios for the five Guadalcanal battles, and a bunch from the Solomon's Campaign. We haven't played any of the Solomon's Campaign yet, but the Guadalcanal battles are very cool. And also very bloody.
Battleships at 2000 to 4000 yards can *really* dish out the punishment.  smile

Re: Gaming Grand Fleets large scale!

So, when will we see the scenarios for the Solomon's?
