Victory at Sea Warlord edition

Many have commented that the bases make it look like the battle of the hovercraft. Without the pre order bundle price, it is very expensive. Solo battleships run c. 20 - 24 dollars. Plus paint & superglue. Another draw back is the resin does warp. That is why I will probably use my WAS inventory and topside minis as bases.
That said, still good models of 1:1800, and the playing field is 4x6 feet with 8 turns.

Just wait and someone will post the cards and then all you have to do is print them and use your W@S mini's.

My friend and I have gone halves in the starter box. I have brought the Yamato model and the Japanese Fleet box.

I wasn't suggesting converting the data from the W@S cards just wait until people upload the cards and use W@S miniatures to save some money. After all the fleet box cost me $180 and each ship is $35.

It's interesting that the Yamato and Musashi get the Sub Hunter upgrades. I know the Yamato had sonar but was it actually used operationally?

I've noticed that the Fletcher and Fubuki class destroyers both have depth chargers (interestingly the Kagaros don't) but there no ASW or submarine rules in the rulebook. Maybe they will be in the big rulebook you mentioned?

It looks like they lifted the squadrons rules from Star Wars Armada? I don't like the aircraft combat, fighters "lock" bombers in place until one or the other is dead. Like in Armada you could have a big aircraft fur ball locked in place on the battlefield not moving and there's no rules in the book about what happens when a ship moves into the middle of them. The rules say they can't move so what happens? is it like Armada that the non-activating play places the flights around the ship possibly breaking engagements?
Also you could have a fur ball locked into place and move a ship into the middle of it to shot at the aircraft with your ships AA. Very unrealistic which is why I rejected this system and aren't  using it in my game.


Yes I would be interested in some of the ship stats so PM incoming
