    Hang 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

    I'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

    I'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

    Another 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

    Flagship rule

    I 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.

    I 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?

    The 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

    Perhaps 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

    Ah. 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

    Makes sense. So perhaps a free ability card for the Commodore would make sense as a house rule?

    We 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

    How many ships can use the damage counters in the starter set?

    No worries Stian, if you post it in the ordinary section of AArs, I can credit it to you towards that medal instead.

    I would suspect this would be any Commodore? I can't remember the rules say anything about the size of the ship?

    As flagships go, would this be for admiral's flagships, or would it apply to commodores as well?

    We tried to pitch that to Ares soon after launch. No bites, even on my quick-and-cheap idea of new ship-logs as participation prizes. :(
