Dan, you caught my attention with the word "genres". Are you considering moving GF/GA out of the "historical" realm it currently inhabits? If that is the case...
Maybe you meant something totally different than I'm reading though.

Aah, in that case, I would have to put in the obvious vote for WW2. Would you ever consider doing a "what if" setting where the Washington Treaty never occurred? It would seem to me that such a setting would be full of nasty Battleships and powerful Battlecruisers and Cruisers, but  fewer Aircraft carriers (and less capable), and one could build an interesting alternate WW2 at sea around that idea.

I vote for pre-dreadnought to WW1.  1863ish forward to WW1. 

Not too interested in WW2, the coming of age of aircraft and the aircraft carrier sucked all the interest out of that period for me.

Hi Daniel,

If we are able to request ships for gameplay... Please post the stats for some WWII British and German ship classes for Grand Admiral. This would be an awesome addition to the game. 

Ships representative of particular classes could relatively easily provide fighting fleets for both navies:
The Bismarck (BB), Scharnhorst (BB/BC), Admiral Graf Spee (CA), Prinz Eugen (CA) and Koln (CL) classes would cover the German navy.

The Hood and Repulse (BC), the KGV, Nelson, Ramilles and Queen Elizabeth (BB), the Ajax, Sheffield, Jamaica, Arethusa and Dido (CL), and the Exeter and Kent (CA) would cover the primary classes of the Royal Navy during the conflict - just 18 ships in total for both navies. 

If there is any chance you could post the ship conversion formulae for Grand Admiral here I would be more than happy to do the ship stat sheets and post them here to the forum.  :mrgreen:   

At the moment, I am trying to create stats for these ships by creating ratings for them in GF and then converting them into GA - then sanity checking them against the factors used in GA Orange.

Thanks for the game by btw - loads of fun  8-)
Kind regards

Kevin and I were talking about this over the weekend.

Were there historical examples of surface battles in which subs and/or aircraft took part? Obviously, there were plenty of air-vs-ship engagements, and subs were a constant threat, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a ship-to-ship battle where aircraft/subs got involved.

I'm thinking this would work for air assets, as well.

Any further thoughts on this cricket?  I think having 15 minute turns is actually a blessing for implementing aircraft.   How was air handled in GF1 and what are the implications of AA values being WAY higher for WWII ships?

Another thought was that in GF2 torps automatically penetrate.  This is probably okay for WWI, but for WWII its probably going to cause problems given all the torpedo bombers and the fact that many battleships had significant torpedo belts.
