Topic: Thank you designers

I have been having great fun reading through Grand Fleets and ordering ships for giving it a sea trial.

I want to say thank you for including the ship conversion formulas. I have been using them to make up record sheets for vessels for some might have been scenarios and cross checking with similar ships from the rules shows my results are not far off.

This is great. Unit design is essential for historical wargames IMHO. No designer can include every possible historical unit.

cheers,

Welcome aboard Dave.
The historical aspect of GF nearly caused Dan to have an ulcer, but he was able to work through it.

Hopefully you'll be pleased to know that there are possibly two supplements in the works: one a WW II Pacific supplement (Guadalcanal and Solomons), and the other a WW II Mediterranean supplement. The scenarios have been written up, and we're now playtesting to make sure they're balanced. GF does handle WW II engagements fairly well, as long as the number aircraft is kept manageable.
I've also got a number of other ships rated up, from the pre-dread era through WW II.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Perhaps not.

But we can certainly try... smile
