Thanks for the files. I went to Spartan today and spent time DLing all 2.0 and 2.5 versions as well as DWFA and Firestorm Armada (just for kicks . . . my son loves stat cards). I then spent the afternoon buying too much DW as it may be getting rare. The key acquisition for us was Prussian Empire Naval Battle Group v2.0 as he has been proxying it every since he saw the stat cards. I printed out the 2.0 alternate stat cards.

I now need to download and print out the 2.5 stat card. I guess this will be the last version.

No problem! These are all official files for now, but I'm hoping to expand the selection with fan-made files in the near future.

And here is the Operational Assets I received from Neil. They never did get round to completing it however as the Titans Troop Reinforcement is missing what it actually does.

If someone has a more advanced copy of it please use it, but for now I think this will do.

Sorry, time got away from me last night. They are uploaded now for the STO and DOC, in the Unreleased Files section. I don't have the draft files for the revised 2.5 Core Faction and Minors ORBATs as yet.

Post by: Merlin on September 14, 2017, 02:46:59 am
Finally got a chance to see them. You can take the Tesla Escort away from the Player made stats. Seems Spartan added my contribution to the lineup before closing down. Interesting that they called it the Schutz though when I asked for it to be called the Blitzschwert. Doesn't matter in any case though.

I'll make the changes to the stats in the file I gave you for the STO. I'll keep the changes I made to the existing models (Like the Aufseher getting Danish Assault boats as an option for Naval combat) and I'll keep the 95pts price for the Blitzdrache. That's what price they were in the file I was originally given, And after playing with them I can see why it was increased to that. It's really damn powerful.
The Eider will keep Piercing Munitions for it's broadside as I think it was just a mistake it was removed from the v1.1 file, since the Heavy frigate is armed with the same weapon and it has it. Plus again, it was added in the file I received and I think it was a more advanced copy than these ones.

I think the 2.0 stats were better. Just more compulsive inflation on the points value. I thought the points reduction from 1.3 to 2.0 was brilliant. The Hermes Q-Ship is a reasonable cruiser. A great option for certain fleets that are weak in that area.
Title: Re: DW Rules and Stats UPDATED 9/13/17
Post by: Merlin on September 17, 2017, 09:07:14 am
@CDR-G I only posted what I was given. And I understood why they were increased in price. The Apollo was too cheap for the extra activations it brought to the table. For 2 Havel models I could have 4 Apollos on the table instead bring 4 extra activations. It needed increased in price.

The Merchantmen, probably could have been left alone, though. The Titian I think was boosted to 100pts just to round off the points for it.




@Ruckdog

I collected all of the Dominion of Canada Stats into a single file, and edited my original STO file to remove the changes I made to existing models. They weren't official so there is no point in them being there. But I added the Bunkers and the Dreadbot to the list as they were in the v2 files.

I can see the Apollos. I agree on the Merchantmen. I resist the constant increase in points for most models that occurs with each update. Yeah, trying to balance with the new high powered models and frankly, get them played by not making them too expensive- but that is a poor excuse for a constant inflation that forces change and encumbers existing models, and making the common point values games larger. Lots of effects beyond just getting new models played.

Post by: Nordic_Wolf on November 06, 2017, 08:15:00 pm
Thanks Ruckdog,

I was hoping that Spartan would release 2.5 out, but it never came due to their sinking 'neath the waves to Davy Jone's Locker (take my hat off for the deceased). So now I can have a look at the improvements they made and see which goes better for our group. Also, since there is a thought I have of adapting the rule-set for historical pre-dreadnought naval actions, I have more scope to choose which of the three - V1.0, V2.0 and V2.5 would be easier to tweak for the idea. I will surely get our navy sailors and my fellow club Admirals (be they British, Yank, Prussian, or Danes or any other respectable individuals) to raise our horns and drink to your health!

So here's to you from our Danes:

Skål!

After rummaging around on one of my old HDDs, I managed to come up with some of the old 1.1 reformatted stat cards. They've been added to the main page! Unfortuantely, this particular download of the cards was done in May 2012, and so it doesn't include any models newer than that, including all the Russians.
