Deck G: Progress and Chat - Status: Cards Printing

Ahoy, the 4 first developmemt cards are up in the Set G subforum. Your input is greatly valued.

The development period is 28 days, after which we'll review feedback and finalise the card. And the next, commander, allied, axis or neutral unit will be released to development comment.

Development will proceed with free discussions until
-a obvious consensus is reached
-an impass is reached
-discusions stall
Ill then step in to manage things a bit. Either by polls, suggestions or what ever is needed.

So have at it

Many sister ships. Other nations not started, India, South Africa, Persia, Manchukou which all had hull 2 at least and saw action in WW2.
Some more “operational” variations for those ships that need that boost.

Ahoy, ive today posted the next 2 commanders for the development process. I accelerated this, as we will need to play test to determine the cost/value of these new card types.

We've locked away a second card.

We've got 3 commander cards that are going to need playtesting once theyve reached an approved draft. One Australian, one German , one French.
They'll need playtest against each other abd against a fleet without a commander. Giving a few play options.

Hector Waller - Australia 1939
Cost: 6(estimate)
Flag 1

Commander (Required): This unit is attached to a friendly ship in the deployment phase. If that ship is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Veteran Destroyer Commander: If this commander is attached to a destroyer and that ship would be destroyed, roll a die. On a 4 or higher, destruction is prevented and the destroyer remains in the game with 1 hull point.

Aggression: If the number of enemy units in local or adjacent sectors is greater than the number of local or adjacent friendly ships. Local and adjacent destroyers and cruiser roll 1 additional die when making anti-air or main gunnery attacks. Abilities that give additional attacks can't be used with this ability

Potshot: The unit this commander is attached to is immune to mines.

Philippe Auboyneau - Commander - France - Cost 5(estimate)

Commander: This unit is attached to a friendly ship in the deployment phase. If that ship is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Covert Dash: The ship this commander is attached to may move 1 sector instead of attacking in the surface attack step. The destination sector may not contain any other units.

Close to Shore: Friendly cruisers with vital of 8 or less have concealment when adjacent to shore or island sectors

Diplomatic: At the end of the turn, friendly units may use abilities that score victory points again, even if they have already used that ability.

Werner Hartmann - Commander - 1939 - Cost 7(estimate)
(REQUIRED)Commander: This submarine in the deployment phase. If that submarine is destroyed or removed from the map, this unit is removed from play.

Flagship 1

Unrestricted Warfare: If no enemy ships are local or adjacent. The unit this commander is attached to can capture an objective if it is after turn 2

Wolfpack Leader: You get +1 initative for each submarine you control with wolfpack other than the submarine this commander is attached to. Up to a maximum of 3.

Elite Crew: The unit this commander is attached to has ASW thread reduced by 1.

Commanders will be attached to a particular unit (and when that unit is destroyed, you will also lose the commander).
Allowing a commander to transfer their flag has been proposed as a special ability (so it is not an inherent ability).
I think you would be allowed to have multiple commanders, but each commander is a class of one (or at least, that is how I understand it: flak has been leading the development and will be able to answer most fully).
