i will say the testing of your airship game was pretty cool also. It was very cool to meet you and are you looking for extra help in play testing the game at all?

I was just checking out the nav con website and seen that harry is going to talking about gaming and running a demo of his new air battle system. i seen the pic of him and for some reason i always thought that he would much older for some reason. then again it seems whwn it comes to history type of gaming I have always noticed though out the 80's and later that history based war gaming has alsways been the base of older guys with gray hair, you guys never seem to see many of the younger people being that into the games for some reason.
but anyway, i know want to know is any of the other boards regulars are going to at the con next weekend? is there any chance we can con harry into a pickup game of naval thunder later in the day on sat? anring my stuff, one want to host, i would be willing to supply ships for a turn of the centry fight, expact i will need some help this week figureing out ships that i need to print out stats for. i will post pics monday. need to dig things out.

I got together with a freind bruce to day since his wife and daughter where away at camp for the week. the first battle was one on one with him running a fuji class pre dread battle ship and i ran a german armored cruiser. can not remember which one. the first battle i last my ship failry quick to his big guns. the next one i chose a much better german armored cruiser and sank his balttleship very quickly with it getting flooded and turning over. gun wise that where pretty much able to do damage with his 12 inch vs my 9inch guns.
the next game after that was a battleship and 2 cruisers for suppoort. he ran a japanese battleship, an armorered cruiser and a protected cruiser. i ran a usa based battlehsip i think the ILl meybe and the penavana and indy class cruisers. he picked the ships out. i dont know the names of the ships he picked. i had him chose the ones for me also.
first move and fire my battleship gets a lucky hit on it and gets set one fire which never got put out. his forces could not hit the side of barn if they tryied. he could not get the hits on he needed to do damage to me at all. i was to picked up a group of raiders from an island in the middle of the table and get them off the board. that never happened at all since i raked his battleship over the coals with damage which slowed it to one move and then she just sank. the one armored cruiser was lost befroe that after i striped her of guns for the most part. the procted cruiser was last seen with a bridge hit and lots of damamge and we called it thier. all my ships had damage and i did not bother to roll for fire or flooding after the battle since i was not the worried like some games we do.
he loved the rules and now i have to get a case for my fleet to carry my naval thing ships in a diffent bag to be able to pull them out by them selves and not have to use stand in ships.

That battle sounds about right for what happens when I have played japan, lossing most ofvthe fleet with just one or two ships limping off the board. Nice write up.

Just paint how you want. I know I went pretty much lots of silver for my navys, nothing like shining like mad in the britecsunlight while doing battle. But yes, theres is lots of ideas in the minis section for painthing ideas, if not just doing some looking for what history has done......then again, if you a hot pink fleet of ships, who is going to stop you.

If nothing else, just use the pointscsystem for a few ships and do battle. It does get really slow on here latelt. Not sure why. Might nothing new has come out in while, poeple have become bored, who knows why. But welcome to the boards and please feel free to ask. I know a few of use check ever couple of dayscat least. The river plate works best, also, just proxy ships also just to getvthe feel of the game. Check out the nav con tread in the head section to give yoi an idea of a naval gaming con also. The other thing is what scale of minis do you want to use? The rules can handel from 1/1250 to 1/6000. I myself am a fan of a weird 1/1000 turn of the centry ships and scale put out by huston minis.

It was very cool and the con really is worth coming to if you really are into naval gaming at all.

Sorry, had to tree different posts for links to all the pics that I posted thought out the day. I played two games of neval thunder. One game was frend vs brits what if? The french pasted the brits badly, never saw that many fire control hits on ships before. The tree brit battleships could not hit the barn standing next to it. One ship had five fire control hits before she sank. The next game was japs vs usa wwii, both games where wwii. The japs started with 10 ships....tree slunk off into the night. We where using a star shell setup which slowed the game down and was kinda annoying. The game was run by one ofvthe board regulars. I think his name was mike..I just remember him as the sheep guy since he raises sheep out by rockford. The first game was run by a non board member and it was fun. He later ran a 6000 scale game but I dont know anything about it. I sat in a talk about the history of the anti air guns which was really cool. Could not finish the panel which I had to leave with 30 mits left in it....it went to 2 and 1/2hours and was very cool to hear about. As for the con, its naval bases games only, everything from aircombat overwater to hunting subs with wwi planes, civil war action, sailing ships, lots of wwii games in sometype. Booard games of naval games, an flea market, one vender selling things, a few panels thought the day about different things. This year the con was friday noght from 6 to 12, sat 8 to 12, and sunday from 8 to 5. I only attanded on sat this year. Its a nice little con though and the only type of this idea around the world. Getting in for the weekend was $12. Can not beat that price at all anywhere.
