In the British Royal Navy, hanging back with your flagship was a great way to get your neck stretched "pour encourager les autres"--just ask
Diamondback Yesterday, 19:36All we did was use a signal flag to be displayed with the order and flag on cards held by the players. The Admiral just displayed on a small stand by
Bligh Yesterday, 15:29Hang back...and do nothing. As long as this rule only imposes negative effects, I don't really see the fun in it (combined with the incentive to hang
James Wilmore Yesterday, 15:23I've long thought an "e-Ship Log" app would be ideal for managing Chit Clutter. Nothing fancy, just replicates the paper log on your screen
Diamondback Yesterday, 15:22I'm not much of an electronic gameplay sort of guy, but do see the value in soloplay. I'm a fan of moving the ships physically on a tabletop, but can't
Dobbs Yesterday, 13:25Another option is kind of like the Wings Ace skills system... each level of "multiple ship" command gets you one choice of Ability. So a squadron
Diamondback Yesterday, 13:16I just read the rulebook's optional Flagship rule. That's a rough one. It seems like it really would encourage the flagship to hang back.
Dobbs Yesterday, 13:10I hear there was a mobile app for solitary play some time back. Dors anyone know anything about that, and if there are plans to update or relaunch it?
James Wilmore Yesterday, 09:05The free ability card makes sense to me. My impression is that historically there was a wide range of skills among nautical leaders, from the negatves
Dobbs Yesterday, 05:02These are wonderful resources! Thank you so much for compiling this and sharing. If the forum will ever move one day, resources such as these are crucial
James Wilmore Yesterday, 04:42Perhaps we could make our own "tactics deck" that we could share with a two turn delay? Instead of doing a lot of writing, we could have a set
James Wilmore Yesterday, 04:17Ah. Thanks for that, I'm well aware of it. I was more thinking of an actual app that would let you set up ship lists, doing the math for you and making
James Wilmore Yesterday, 04:12Makes sense. So perhaps a free ability card for the Commodore would make sense as a house rule?
James Wilmore Yesterday, 02:53We tried it out with flag signals, but it slows the game down so much we decided that a short statement of intent such as turn to port, close up on flagship
Bligh Yesterday, 01:52No worries Stian, if you post it in the ordinary section of AArs, I can credit it to you towards that medal instead.
Rob.
I would think that tha charisma of the commanding officer would reflect in the morale of the captains and crew serving under him. Ability cards should
Bligh Yesterday, 01:04I would suspect this would be any Commodore? I can't remember the rules say anything about the size of the ship?
James Wilmore 06-16-2024, 21:55As flagships go, would this be for admiral's flagships, or would it apply to commodores as well?
Put another way, just the large rates, or
Supporting app?
Sounds interesting! Can this be found anywhere?
