the blimb and the battleship are both from spartan games distiopion wars, they are both member of the prissian navy, the ship is thier battleship and the blimp is there air carrier, both are 1200 scale. as for stating out the sailing ships, i can give a basic layout of the ship from a looking at it for waepons. it is 600 scale, but it does not look that bad though in different scales.

Tonight was the first time i played the game out side of naval con last oct. i meet with someone that i have been playing uncharted seas with the past few months and we did a greman vs usa fight tonight at the hobby shop in grayslake, il. I ran the us ships Indiana(1896), Illinois(1901), Olympia(1895), Philidlphia(1890), new york(1893), pennsllvania(1905). the germans where brandenburg, braunschweig, prinz heinrich, prince adalbert, and one more brandenburg i think..lost the sheet right now. pics will be posted laters. writing now since the fight is fresh in my mind. the minis we where useing where everything from 1000 scale, 600, and 1200 scale. things where being used for fill in. we where double the range and movment...the game lasted i think 5 turns before we called it.... i had 2 battleships and 4 cruisers about rough points cost to his a little bit in my fav i think. he had 3 battleships and 2 cruisers. we did not use the moral rules or fleet flags, it was just a straight up fight to learn the rules and how the system works. we used a dice to see who moved and then moved our ships in the order that the rules said to. then the other person moved. the germans split thier fleet with two of the battleship going to my left and the other one and his cruiser going to my right. I lost the ILL a couple of turns in from being pounded hard and the crit damage added upalso. Next apoint blank torp exhange with cruiers went hay wire with all of them missing i think or them being damaged to not be able to fire. we where doing damage with the small 4 and 3 inch guns trying to do crits...lots and lots of dice to roll.... i lost the Olympia to a battleship fire next. then got to the point of being on all sides of his right hand battalehsip hoping to do some damage with torps....and gun fire....he opened up with everything in the battleship phase and sank the new york and philly beefore i could do anything and did some damage to the penn state aliong with support fire from his cruisers. we called the game after that with the role of 7+ to see if aany ships make it back to port...both of mine made it with very heavy damage to the indy and some to the penn state. all of his ships where very damaged with 2 of them with one point left when we called it....the weird thing is none of them made it home....they all where sunk after that fight some how....
over all the game was fun, have to read the rules again to under stand everything cause there where a couple of things i will have reread ans ask about. the ships i chose pretty much at random for both sides where amusing with the penn being the best damage sink at 55 point but only an armor of 10. she could take more damage then the battleships. i think i will have to try her again in a fight. i did not see till now that the Olympia moves and fires in the flotilla stage..opps. the philly moves in cruiser and fires in floty..thats weird. in think we might have been doing some of the damage pen wrong for the sec and trird guns, but i will have to look that up again for what to do. not much of a great battle report. just kinda giving an idea of what happend over all.

welcome to the forums, if nothing else, play it out and see what happenes, then play it again and change things and see how they go. i know i played at naval con last oct with someone and the germans where to get away from the british....i said frag and turned around to engage the brits as the german player.....i have one ship that was damaged and one ship that was still intact...everything else went down quickly when going agaist battleships with cruisers.....it was fun though...i did not read the ship stat as a should have with the amount of guns each ship had and had the wrong to hit rolls figureed out..it was the 2nd time playing naval thunder...i played a game for the first time that moring....and it was the clash of the dreads setup....

thats why i was asking to get the idea which flow chart to use. the big guys fire first, then deal with the cruisers, and then deal with the dt small fry guys...then everyone gets a big bang when the torps show up..... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

i was looking though the rules books for the ww1 game and the rise of the battleships and the russo/japan war books and there is something i want to ask that i am not sure about in the action chart that you do each turn.
do you BB move bb fire cr move cr fire dt move dt fire torps fire
or do you bb move cr move dt move bb fire cr fire dt fire torps fire.....
i played two games at naval con last year and i can not remeber how the two games played out using which action chart listing which has me confused. the way i am reading it would be everyone moves...then combat, then the end phase stuff. or am i reading this wrong....
just to give you an idea of how nuts i am i just spent about $40 at office max thusday nightgetting all the books printed out with covers and binding to have beetter accosee to reading and playing the game. i have not bothered to get the ww2 stuff, i have the turn of the centry and ww1 games so i will stick to that fore now to use with different ships i have picked up. anyway want to stat out civil war stuff for use with naval thunder?

but you do allow something so both sides are even for ranges though......but as i said its a silly idea.....it would require some thoughts put into so both sides would be able to be even with out being a one sided turky shoot.

i know everyone has been talking about the differnt scales for ships that you all use.....here is a very silly idea to try playing our for a battle.... the setting is no real importance for who is doing what to whome. the battle is in different scales on the same table...the reason is that two sides ran in each other..they found out opne very small issue.....they where fighting gaints in much bigger ships.....try to figure out a battle and how to adjust the fleet effort when your fleet is one side in 1/1000 and the other is something like 1/3000 or something....or even 1200 vs 2400 or something....or if pull out something like 6000 vs anything the fleet makes up for it in number of ships vs good things that the bigger scale is using idea..the bigger scale works out the fleet as normal for the points you wish to play. the smaller scale depeneding on how small halves the points or even 1/4 if they are really small and then treat the ships with much less hit points they can take....or even turrets as one gun of a certain size. like if you are shooting at 3000 or 6000 treat the big guns as an area effect weapon like 2 or 3 inchs across and the smaller scale combing ships into one gun or return fire....something about fighting ants at those scales... werid idea and thought i would toss it out here for something different to do if a few people have different scales and want to fight wioth something different...would work as a con game also. sorry, most rambleing with an idea......carry on....
