General Discussion / Re: Article on Changing Carrier Duties
« on: April 24, 2019, 10:07:38 pm »Very interesting article but it does not seem to address a major issue of today: the use of drones and consequently cheaper and less sophisticated carriers that might be used and how that might impact on naval war.
Drone carriers for air defense halo
Point defenses for core
Missile cruisers for attacks

I guess I have always assumed with miniature games the models were magnified to range scale

Is scale and detection any different or as significant of a problem as with spacecraft games?

Misc. Naval Games / Re: Where would you set a fantasy naval wargame?
« on: January 14, 2019, 03:42:24 pm »
I thought the uncharted seas background had potential
Especially if all the factions originated there rather than from another continent

especially if they have naval

General Discussion / Re: Making Escorts Useful?
« on: December 07, 2018, 10:32:21 am »If you think of an escorts historical job was recon, screening, patrol, ASW , AA, and threatening the flanks/damaged vessels what are some ways to model these roles on a 6x4 table in a tactical game?
In the system I am working on
These functions (recon, point defense, etc) provide specific bonuses to the squadron allowing capital ships to fight better, making these “escorts” targets in themselves
While capital ships can take these modules doing so would cost them the ability to take offensive modules, and there are scale efficiency to offensive modules.
